I care deeply about creating a space grounded in honesty, trust, and genuine connection. My approach is warm, compassionate, and straightforward, and I shape each session around your unique needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Above all, I see therapy as a collaborative process, and I’m here to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you grow.

Growing up, finding your footing as a man, or learning how to show up for your own kids can feel like you are supposed to already have the answers. I work mostly with men: fathers adjusting to a new chapter, young adults sorting through identity and anxiety, and couples trying to reconnect. After two years in practice, I keep seeing the same thing: admitting something is wrong is rarely the hard part, figuring out what to do about it is. That is where I come in, helping you build a clearer, steadier way forward.
