If a mental health diagnosis has made past therapy feel complicated, bipolar disorder, a personality disorder, something that got you written off before you walked in the door, you don't have to carry that here. Over 8 years, I've worked with clients through some of their hardest psychiatric moments: major depressive episodes, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and I've learned how to meet people exactly where they are, without flinching and without judgment. I also work with clients navigating gender dysphoria and transgender-specific concerns, anxiety, addiction, and chronic stress. Whatever brought you here, my first job is to make sure you feel heard, not diagnosed.

I use cognitive-behavioral and family-systems approaches, which in plain terms means I pay attention to the relationships and dynamics shaping how you're doing, even in one-on-one sessions, while also helping you build concrete tools for the thoughts and patterns that keep you stuck. Sessions are practical and direct. You steer what we focus on, but I'll offer real insight, not just questions reflected back at you. Nothing you bring will catch me off guard, psychosis, a diagnosis that scared you, a personality disorder you've been told is "too much" for therapy.

Your first session is about your story, not just your diagnosis. We'll talk through what's been happening, what you've tried before, and what you're hoping goes differently this time. I'll ask early about family and relationships since that context usually matters. It's completely normal to feel nervous or unprepared walking in. You don't need it organized. Bring what's true right now, and we'll build from there.
