I use a blend of Therapy+Coaching with a clinical style leaning heavily toward Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. My practice with Riser+Tread centers around working with youth/male clients, and empowering them to "step up and move forward" using tools and strategies in-session and between sessions that maximize progress and momentum, while helping clients reach their full potential. Our work focuses on building confidence and social skills, reducing anxiety or depression if present, and managing ADHD.

My ideal patient comes with an open mind to participate in talk therapy and narrative therapy. Ready to start a process - not necessarily eager to engage but wanting to make a change. They are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

My ideal client is someone who is higher functioning and has some self-awareness. My ideal client is between the ages of 25-40, struggling with managing emotional distress, and often has issues with relationships in their lives. My ideal client is in a place where they are ready to do the work, even if it's uncomfortable. Their needs are often centered around building confidence, improving emotional regulation, setting boundaries, and building healthy relationships with themselves and others. My clients desire to obtain peace in their lives, even if that means letting go of what no longer serves them.

I have been most effective in working with individuals who feel that their relationship struggles, mood issues, anxiety and/or trauma are holding them back from living the life they want to live. I work collaboratively to establish a treatment plan that is unique and tailored to each individual. Together, we will engage in insight oriented work to understand the root of the problem, as well as skill building to learn coping skills that will help alleviate distress in the here and now. In my experience this is what leads to both symptom relief in the short term as well as deep long lasting change.

My goal when meeting with clients is to create a warm and safe environment where you feel comfortable exploring difficult feelings and cultivating change. Wherever you are in your pursuit of receiving support is where I meet you and begin our work together. Wherever you are is a good place to start. I want my clients to know that change is possible and that they are worthy and capable of creating a life they want to live.

My ideal client is a young adult who is working on getting their life together. They are having a difficult time controlling their emotions and suffers with anxiety. Their goals are to get and keep a job, work on a career, and be more responsible. They are realizing that it is time to get it together. They are interested in learning coping skills and working on past traumatic events that they believe to be in the way of learning new ways. I will work with my clients to unfold what is brought into the room and set the pace that feels most supportive to them—together, creating a safe and supportive space as we address needs and goals.

To grow, to change, and to learn about oneself and those we are close to is a challenge we all face. At times this challenge can feel overwhelming and difficult. There are times in life when engaging in therapy is truly beneficial. Loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties occur. Life transitions can call upon us in ways that are truly unexpected and create disruptioins we are unprepared for.
Trained as a clinical psychologist, I have been in practice 30+ years and have worked with individuals, couples, and families looking to change, searching for relief, and open to their own healing.

I believe in meeting clients where they are emotionally and mentally. Whether you're starting therapy for the first time, or have tried many times in the past, I want to meet you where you are and work with you to explore the next steps. Perhaps you or your child is struggling with the demands of school, work or relationships. Perhaps you and your partner feel stuck in your relationship and crave a better way to communicate with each other. Perhaps you're ready to dive in full force, or perhaps you're just questioning whether or not you want to make changes. These are just some of the issues that can be explored in therapy.
