The way I live my life shapes the way I work. I care about honesty, warmth, and relationships that feel authentic. I want therapy to feel like a place where real conversations happen and where what we talk about can actually connect to your day-to-day life.

Most people are dealing with layers of stress, old patterns, mixed feelings, and complicated relationship dynamics, so we will take the time to sort through what is actually going on. I tend to meet people with compassion, curiosity, and respect for how hard life can be. Sometimes humor becomes part of the process. Other times, there is no shortcut around the discomfort, and we simply have to sit with it.

“Sometimes you just have to sit in the discomfort (or the mud)” is something you'll probably hear me say more than once in a session.

I like to think of myself as a one-stop relationship shop. We can talk about the relationship itself by exploring past hurts, understanding patterns, and working through communication and conflict.

We can explore sex and intimacy by talking about what brings you pleasure, what gets in the way, and how you want intimacy to feel and look.

And when parenting is part of the picture, we can work on that too—exploring parenting styles, navigating disagreements, setting boundaries, and finding ways to stay connected as partners while raising kids.

The one thing I ask you to bring is a willingness to look at yourself, not just the people you're in relationship with. I'm not here to help you change them; I'm here to help you understand patterns, needs, and contributions to your relationships and figure out what you can do differently.

That can be hard work, but it's also where meaningful change begins.
