About me

My practice
I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and the sense of feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. I’m especially interested in working with people who feel unsure about therapy, including men and others who may not have felt at home in more traditional therapeutic spaces. My approach is thoughtful, grounded, collaborative, and informed by evidence-based practice. Together, we build a shared language for what you’re going through, making room to come up for air, understand the patterns you’re caught in, and find a way forward that feels more like your own.
My work is evidence-based and starts with the person, not the problem. I draw on different therapeutic approaches to help people slow things down, understand the patterns shaping their inner life and relationships, and make room for what may not yet have clear language. The aim is not to “fix” you, but to understand what is happening and create more choice.
I am committed to listening for how life is experienced from within your world. I bring curiosity, gentle challenge, and respect for the ways you have managed so far. I work with people to reconnect with their own direction, values, and sense of possibility. Feeling uncertain about where to begin? Therapy can be a place to start figuring things out.
