Therapist

There’s already so much in the world to feel stressed about. Relationship struggles don’t need to add to that weight. I love helping couples and individuals navigate relational distress. After working as an engineer for 10 years, I transitioned into therapy. I bring a blend of analytic and empathetic skills into the therapy room. My approach is laid-back, and I enjoy incorporating humor into sessions. I’ve been practicing for nearly 15 years, focusing on adults and couples.
