Great to meet you!

I believe each of us carries a vision for the life we want to lead. When our reality diverges from that story, it can create profound distress. I specialize in helping you reclaim that narrative, shifting it toward a path of growth and fulfillment.

My practice is rooted in the fundamental belief that human dignity is non-negotiable, regardless of one’s history. Having worked extensively with individuals facing the most complex layers of the human experience—including those navigating addiction, self-harm, and the weight of the justice system—I have learned to see the person beyond the behavior. Whether supporting individuals in corrections or those moving through significant life transitions, I maintain that no one is defined solely by their darkest moments. I am committed to meeting you with radical empathy, recognizing that every person possesses the inherent strength to change and the potential to flourish.

My approach to therapy

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all healing. My approach is a deliberate fusion of narrative exploration and tactical skill-building. While we must honor the history that shaped you, insight alone isn’t enough to change a life—you need the tools to navigate the "now."

We won’t just talk about change; we will build the architecture for it. I specialize in a dialectical framework, teaching you to balance self-acceptance with the grit required for transformation. Together, we will master the arts of mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation, practicing these techniques in real-time during our sessions. Think of me as both a witness to your story and a strategist for your future. My goal is to equip you with the radical self-awareness and the "boots-on-the-ground" skills required to bridge the gap between the life you have and the life you are ready to claim.

What you can expect from me

The foundation of therapy is connection, and that chemistry has to be right. Our first session isn't just a clinical intake; it is the beginning of a collaborative partnership.

While we will spend time honoring the history that brought you here, this is also your opportunity to feel out the energy I bring to the room. I don’t believe in "waiting for the work to start"—I want you to feel the shift immediately. Together, we will begin deconstructing your story and identifying the specific milestones of your growth. You will leave our first hour not just feeling heard, but with tangible, practical tools in your hands. We aren’t just exploring the map; we’re starting the engine.

Ready to begin?

Change requires both a witness and a strategist. I offer a space where no part of your journey is too complex to explore and no goal is too ambitious to pursue. If you are looking for radical empathy paired with real-world tools, let’s get started.
