Great to meet you!

If you're carrying a diagnosis that's made past therapy feel complicated, bipolar disorder, a mood disorder, or a personality disorder, you don't have to carry it alone here. My early clinical years were in inpatient psychiatric care, sitting with people through some of their hardest moments: major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders. That's given me a steady, non-judgmental way of meeting you exactly where you are. 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.

My approach to therapy

I work from a family-focused lens, meaning I pay attention to the relationships and dynamics shaping how you're doing, even when we're working one-on-one. Sessions are practical and direct. I'll offer real insight, not just questions reflected back, while you steer what we focus on. I've sat with clients through some of the most serious psychiatric diagnoses, so nothing you bring, psychosis, a personality disorder, a diagnosis that scared you, will catch me off guard.

What you can expect from me

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.
