I like our sessions to feel more like you are talking to a friend. I do my best to create a safe, comfortable, nonjudgemental environment. I like to approach clients' symptoms with curiosity as we explore and learn more about the client, together.

As a therapist, creating a safe and supportive environment is essential for establishing a positive therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a non-judgmental, empathetic, and collaborative atmosphere in my therapy sessions where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. In my sessions, I aim to be warm, compassionate, and attentive to my clients' needs. I encourage open and honest communication and actively listen to my clients to fully understand their perspectives and concerns. Working with me should feel like a supportive and collaborative process. Clients should feel heard, validated, and respected, and I strive to work collaboratively with them to identify goals and develop a personalized treatment plan to help them achieve those goals. Overall, I aim to create a safe and welcoming space where clients can feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that promotes healing and growth.

We all have challenges that hold us back and keep us from living our best life. Maybe you have been disappointed, experienced loss, trauma, or rejection. Perhaps you have struggled with divorce, anxiety, isolation, or low self-esteem. You may be going through a difficult transition. I offer a blend of tools to help you begin to feel better. I bring solid experience and research-based strategies to my work. I believe in working with each person in a way that is individualized for them and honors the way they think and feel. I strive to make everyone feel comfortable, safe and supported during our sessions. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist, but also draw from many other techniques.

I am a relational and psychodynamic therapist. My aim is to better understand your life experiences and relationships and explore whether they are contributing to or challenging your day-to-day well-being. The relationship we build will be an important part of increasing understanding and creating a place where the healing process can begin. Therapeutic goals vary; however, individual insights can create opportunities for perspective shifts in how we feel about ourselves, our experiences, and our relationships. Throughout this process, many of my clients find symptom relief as they develop a greater capacity to tolerate and regulate challenging emotions. I specialize in working with adolescent and adult males. I have worked extensively with men dealing with anxiety, depression, early trauma, anger management, substance abuse, and grief and loss.

" Real transformation sometimes requires real honesty" - I would love to assist you with finding the path to your true self. Are you trying to find the right therapist?

Dealing with persistent relational stress? Do you struggle with poor communication patterns? Are you suffering with unmet needs? Do you make others a priority over your own needs and desires? Do you wonder how your life could be better somehow? Happier? More connected with your partner? Many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and discouraged in their personal lives. They are uncertain about how to deal with their relationships, careers and issues in their lives. Pushing away what you need and want to make others happy isn't the answer and can lead to long term problems for your mind, body and spirit. Reducing relational distress becomes more managable when you know the right tools for healthy communication. We start counseling exactly where you are at and deal with what issues you would like to bring into our sessions. You will find that working with me through various counseling methods will provide you a better and more productive way to handle negative communication patterns that are overwhelming you. I can help you understand what is keeping you stuck and help you get "unstuck". Together we can discover the best path to help you reach your goals and if I can't help you, I'll find someone who can. I work with clients who are open, ready, willing and motivated to deal with issues that are keeping them stuck. As we work together collaboratively, you will learn healthier ways to communicate and deescalate negative cycles that you are stuck in. . My clients appreciate the safe, comfortable environment that is created as you learn new skills. You will improve emotional connection, learn to reconnect after a rupture and repair your relationship.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I strive to create a space where you can talk openly without fear of judgment, while also learning meaningful tools to help you feel better in your daily life. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and strengths-based approaches to help clients better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors. Together, we work to identify patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, stress, depression, self-doubt, or feeling emotionally “stuck,” while building healthier coping strategies and greater self-awareness. I also recognize that life experiences, relationships, family dynamics, health concerns, and chronic stress can deeply affect emotional well-being. Therapy is not about “fixing” you. It is about helping you better understand yourself, develop resilience, and move toward a life that feels more manageable, balanced, and authentic. I value creating a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. My goal is to help you feel empowered, emotionally supported, and better equipped to navigate challenges both inside and outside of therapy.
