Introduction

I believe most emotional suffering is maintained by avoidance. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, or conflict in a relationship, we often organize our lives around not feeling discomfort or tension. The problem is that short-term relief quietly convinces us that we need to keep avoiding hard things, which limits our freedom to choose. My work focuses on helping you turn toward what you’ve been avoiding—difficult conversations, feared sensations, painful emotions, or hard decisions—so real and durable change can occur. Therapy isn’t just about feeling supported; it’s about building the courage and skills to face what keeps you stuck. With anxiety, we practice facing fear instead of avoiding it. With depression, we move toward meaningful action rather than waiting to feel motivated. In relationships, we develop the ability to stay connected while also being clear about who you are. Across issues, the goal is the same: reduce avoidance and strengthen your capacity to choose intentionally. My style is active, structured, and collaborative. I am supportive, but challenging. Together, we identify patterns where you are stuck—like being run by anxiety, remaining in unsatisfying relationships, or feeling defeated by depression—and we deliberately work to interrupt them with tools, compassion, and humor. The aim is not comfort alone, but freedom.
