Common feelings like "I don’t feel heard” or “I can’t seem to do anything right” are expressed by the couples I work with. Individual clients feel overwhelmed and stressed, “My life is changing dramatically and I’m not sure what to do next.”

My ideal client has a desire to heal and change their life. They must approach the counseling journey with openness and curiosity. It does not matter what issues or needs they bring to me because together, we can make magic happen and their goals and desires come to fruition. The most important thing is again that willingness and desire to change.

Have you thought about therapy before, but were worried that you'd be misunderstood or judged? Did you grow up in an environment where asking for help was seen as a sign of "weakness"? Do you find yourself not wanting to share your thoughts, feelings, and needs in your relationship because you're worried about "saying the wrong thing" and how your partner will react? Whether you're facing challenges with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family dysfunction, addictions, racism, or other obstacles, my goal is to help you discover your strengths, deepen your relationships, and live closer to your most authentic self.

Immediate morning and daytime openings. The relationship shared between you and your therapist is the most important factor when considering therapy. Before work can begin, a client must be comfortable with and trust their therapist. I pride myself on being able to achieve a strong, trusting, safe connection with my clients by placing an emphasis on empathy, compassion, and humor to build and foster our rapport.

I understand the unique challenges of relationships and know how deep hurt and regret impact connection. I also know the long-lasting positive impacts that therapy can have on couples deciding whether to stay together, learning how to get unstuck, stop fighting, and forgive. I aim to support couples as they take greater risks to develop (and re-develop) trust, gain understanding, deepen intimacy, and restore connection.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or the loss of a loved one with a sense of feeling lost, hopeless, and without purpose? Are you struggling with life transitions & open to delving deeper to explore those issues? I primarily work with men like this, who have arrived at this point in life feeling "stuck" or "at a dead end," struggling with relationship issues and feeling disconnected & frustrated. My job is to help you re-negotiate your relationship with your feelings, see you as okay, and understand the meaning of your upbringing or narratives you've learned on "how you ought to be."

I believe that everyone deserves to have a space where they can be vulnerable and feel understood. Starting treatment can be hard, but I encourage you to give therapy a chance to engage in an experience that can be transformative, powerful, and healing.

I believe in meeting clients where they are at! Every person is resilient. I intend our collaboration to remind you of your strengths, provide you tools to weather the storms of life, and a safe space to gain insight into your truest self. I come to social work from a social justice background and recognize that trauma and oppression are often intertwined. Acknowledging systemic issues is a vital part of my practice, particularly for youth and families directly impacted by it. Teaching you to advocate successfully on your own behalf, whether it be in your relationships or larger systems, is also essential.
