I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood — not judged, analyzed, or reduced to a diagnosis. My approach begins with curiosity: What has happened to you? What matters most to you? What patterns have developed along the way, and what might be possible if you understood yourself a little more deeply?

I’m especially interested in helping people understand the connection between their experiences, emotions, identity, relationships, beliefs, and behavior. Much of my work has focused on anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationships, life transitions, motivation, shame, identity, and personal growth. I enjoy helping clients make sense of things that may have felt confusing or overwhelming for a long time and turning that understanding into practical change.

My style is compassionate, conversational, and collaborative. I draw from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and client-centered therapy, while adapting my approach to the person sitting across from me. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to bring clinical knowledge, perspective, and curiosity to help you better understand yourself and decide where you want to go.

I also believe that meaningful change involves more than simply reducing symptoms. Sometimes therapy is about learning to respond differently to emotions. Sometimes it means understanding how childhood experiences continue to influence the present. Sometimes it involves rebuilding a sense of identity, working through shame, improving relationships, strengthening boundaries, or figuring out what kind of person you want to become.

I have worked with people from a wide range of cultural, religious, family, and personal backgrounds, and I strive to create a space where those parts of your life can be discussed openly and respectfully. For clients whose faith is important to them, I’m also comfortable exploring the ways spirituality, belief, doubt, shame, purpose, and discipleship intersect with mental health and personal growth.

Most of all, I want therapy to be a place where you can slow down, be honest, and begin making sense of your life. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you come. We can start with wherever you are.
