How I work
Life is hard, and sometimes unfair — we all hit seasons that leave us overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or exhausted. My approach starts with curiosity: every person has a unique story, and before we focus on solutions I want to understand your world and what has shaped you. Clients often tell me they feel heard, and I think good therapy helps you see not only what is wrong, but what is right with you.
What sessions are like
My style is conversational, collaborative, and occasionally humorous. I may challenge you now and then, always with respect and a goal of a fresh perspective. I often compare counseling to physical therapy — the work in session matters, but growth happens when you apply it in everyday life.
My background
More than 30 years ago I took a psychology class on a whim and became fascinated by people's stories — that curiosity has never left. My hope is that you leave counseling feeling less like you're drowning and more confident to navigate whatever season you are facing.
At the heart of the work
Leave counseling feeling less like you're drowning and more confident to navigate whatever season you're in.
