The person behind the practice.
A real relationship, with room to be human.
I want therapy to feel like a real relationship, not a clinical environment where you have to present a polished version of yourself. We will explore difficult experiences, sit with uncomfortable truths, and hold ourselves accountable while still making room for humor, playfulness, and the occasional ridiculous moment. We might cry, laugh, spill our drink, choke on air, or completely miss the mark. We're human, and I hope we can build a relationship where we feel comfortable enough to call those moments out, laugh at ourselves, and keep going.
The relationship matters.
I genuinely love people and care about helping them find happiness and fulfillment in ways that are meaningful to them. I believe the connection between therapist and client matters deeply, and I want our work to be more than a place to talk about what's happening. Together, we'll explore the beliefs and patterns beneath the surface, make sense of experiences that may not have fully come together before, and consider how you want to move forward.
As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), I draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed approaches, and skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These approaches inform my work, but our relationship and your individual needs guide how we use them.
You get to decide if we're a good fit.
I'm not interested in being the right therapist for everyone. I'm interested in building a meaningful connection with people who feel that my approach fits what they're looking for. You deserve to be selective about who you trust with your story and you shouldn’t have to commit your time or money to a guessing game.
From the very first conversation, I want you to feel that you're in the driver's seat of your own care. If we connect, I'm excited to explore what meaningful change might look like for you.
