Therapy works when it actually feels like yours, like the conversations you’d want to be having if you had the right person to have them with. My job is to be that person, and to bring tools and frameworks that help you make sense of what’s happening, not just talk about it.

A lot of my work is with people in the middle of transitions in their career, parenthood, identity, or relationships. Some clients come in knowing exactly what they want to work on. Others come in knowing only that something is off. Both are completely fine starting points.

Depending on what we’re working on together, I draw from a few different therapy models, most commonly Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). What that means in practice is less important than what it feels like in the room: collaborative, structured when structure helps, open-ended when openness helps, and grounded in evidence about what actually works.

Starting therapy can feel like a lot. It takes courage to show up, and it often brings things to the surface that have been easier to avoid. But it also creates real space for things to shift, and most people find that getting started is the hardest part.

What working with me actually looks like:

Direct, not just warm. I’m warm, but I’m also direct. If I see a pattern, I’ll name it. If something you’re saying doesn’t add up, I’ll ask about it.

Tools, not just talk. Therapy with me involves frameworks and concrete skills, not just processing. You should leave most sessions with something you can actually try, notice, or apply.

Honest about what therapy can and can’t do. Therapy isn’t magic, and not every issue is a therapy issue. If something is better addressed by a psychiatrist, a coach, a different kind of therapist, or just better sleep, I’ll tell you!
