My approach is warm, direct, and skills-based. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and takes notes — I show up as my genuine self and work best with people who are ready to do more than just talk about it.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and restructure the thought patterns keeping them stuck. Early on we’ll build a shared language around what’s happening — and from there, you’ll learn to respond rather than react. I also draw on Gottman Method, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused approaches depending on what each client needs. The goal is always tools you can actually use — not just insight without action.
My work centers on the experiences that often go unseen or minimized. New mothers struggling with more than the baby blues. Dads who expected to feel excited and instead feel lost. People carrying a grief the world moved on from too quickly. Anyone sitting with anxiety or a low mood they can’t quite shake. Anyone caught in the same relationship patterns wondering why it keeps happening. Anyone who’s been their own harshest critic for as long as they can remember.
You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support. If something feels off, that’s enough to reach out.
