Introduction

Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or alone. Life has been heavy, and despite your best efforts, you feel stuck—caught in old patterns that no longer serve you. My clients often come to therapy feeling anxious and weighed down by past experiences that continue to shape how they relate to themselves and others. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Through our work, my clients often begin to feel more grounded and confident in themselves. Together we will build a deeper understanding of your emotional and relational needs, helping you move through life with more clarity, connection, and confidence. I bring seven years of experience working with both adults and teens, including running a men’s trauma program and providing therapy for adolescents with eating disorders. My approach is deeply informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy. I’m interested in how your past relationships and experiences shape your present—how you respond and make sense of the world. Your experience matters, and meaningful change is possible. Finding a therapist can be difficult, so if you're curious to work with me, reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
