Great to meet you!

I work with adults facing anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, career stress, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are men who carry significant responsibilities and want a practical, straightforward approach. I also welcome women and couples seeking clarity, healthier communication, and meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is supportive, direct, and collaborative. Together, we identify patterns that are no longer working, understand what is driving them, and develop practical strategies for change. I provide a confidential, judgment-free environment where you can speak openly without having to maintain appearances or have everything figured out.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will focus on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you would like to change, and what has or has not helped before. We will begin developing clear goals while taking the time needed to build trust. You can expect honest conversation, thoughtful feedback, and practical steps you can use outside of therapy.
