No matter your situation, my goal is to help you feel heard and accepted, and to understand your experience from your perspective. I aim to create a safe place and a strong alliance so we can understand where you are now, define your goals, and how we can achieve them. With a focus on developing confidence and a positive mindset, we will connect your triggers, emotions, and actions, make corrective experiences, and align your actions with your values and needs so you can thrive. I primarily work with individuals (16+) and couples.

I am passionate about working with individuals experiencing attachment issues, anxiety, depression, and men's issues, plus couples looking to work on communication problems and improving their relationship. I also enjoy helping clients that have experienced issues that include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and PTSD.

I am a trauma-trained and attachment-focused therapist that uses an integrative approach to therapy, drawing influence from Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Existential, ACT, DBT, CBT, CPT for trauma, Somatic, Narrative Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and more. I look forward to talking with you and helping you grow.
