My approach is practical and strengths-focused: I tailor evidence-based methods to each person’s needs and values, spiritual or secular.

I'm a seasoned clinician who believes effective therapy is built on partnership, authenticity, and mutual respect. I offer one-on-one therapy for adults in a relaxed, conversational style that’s free of judgment—so you can bring your whole self to the work. Together we’ll explore how past experiences and vulnerable parts of your story may be shaping current patterns, moving at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. ​My approach is practical and strengths-focused: sometimes simply acknowledging difficult experiences — and even appreciating the survival strategies you’ve developed — reveals resources you already have to create meaningful change. I tailor evidence-based methods to each person’s needs and values, whether your orientation is spiritual or secular. ​After nearly 15 years in community mental health, I specialize in addiction (all forms), trauma, serious mental illness (including schizophrenia), disability-related concerns, anger, and issues affecting men. I’m certified in EMDR and trained in Parts Work, the neuroscience of addiction, CBT, and DBT, among other modalities. I’ll collaborate with you to select the approaches that best fit your goals and preferences. ​Thank you for taking this step toward greater self-understanding. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your path forward.
