What's My Approach to Therapy?
If you’re looking for a therapist, something important in your life or relationship likely feels unsettled. You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, hurt, or unsure how things reached this point. Maybe you’re exhausted from having the same conversations, carrying resentment, or holding things together on the outside while feeling very different on the inside. Often, people come to therapy knowing what isn’t working—but feeling uncertain about how to create real change.
I work with couples and individuals using solution focused therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps people move forward without getting lost in the past. While understanding your experiences matters, our work centers on what you want your life or relationship to look like instead—and how to begin moving in that direction. Together, we identify strengths, skills, and past successes that may feel distant right now, but are still very much part of you.
My role is active and collaborative. I ask thoughtful, purposeful questions that help create clarity, direction, and momentum. Rather than focusing only on what feels broken, we pay close attention to what is already working, even in small ways, and build from there. This often helps clients feel more hopeful and grounded, especially when trust has been damaged, intimacy has faded, or stress has taken over daily life.
Whether we meet in person or online, I aim to create a space that feels focused, supportive, and practical. Sessions are designed to feel useful—not just reflective—so you leave with a clearer sense of what comes next and how to take the next step.
You don’t need to have the answers before starting therapy. You just need a place to begin—and I’m here to help you do that.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
Many people come to therapy unsure what to expect. You might wonder whether psychotherapy can really help, what you?re supposed to talk about, or how change is actually supposed to happen. It?s common to feel hesitant, skeptical, or unsure where to begin?especially if this is your first experience with therapy or if past attempts didn?t feel helpful.
I am skilled at helping people discover how psychotherapy can be useful and meaningful for them. My role is not to push insight or force a particular narrative, but to help you understand how therapy can support real change in your life or relationship. Together, we clarify what you want help with and what you would like to be different, then use that clarity to guide our work.
I practice solution focused therapy, an evidence-based approach that emphasizes your strengths, resources, and capacity for change. Rather than spending long periods revisiting everything that has gone wrong, we focus on what has worked before, what is already helping even a little, and how to build on those moments. This often helps therapy feel more accessible and less overwhelming, especially for people who are unsure whether counseling will make a difference.
My style is collaborative, thoughtful, and active. I ask clear, purposeful questions and help connect therapy conversations to everyday life, so sessions feel practical and relevant. Whether we meet in person or online, my goal is to help you leave with greater understanding, direction, and confidence in how psychotherapy can support you.
You don?t need to know exactly what to say or where to start. Part of my work is helping you discover that?together.
