About

A certain moment keeps me in this profession: someone pauses mid-sentence, sits back, and says, 'Huh. I never put that together before.' That small click is what therapy is for. I spent years in hospital programs before moving into private practice, and that experience shaped how I approach bipolar disorder and long runs of low mood. It showed me that people do best with skills they can actually use when things get rough, which is why distress tolerance is one of the first things we practice together. Our sessions are structured, so each hour has a shape you can rely on even when your week did not. Expect specifics from me, not platitudes. I keep things conversational; you will get a real person here, not a blank stare and a notepad. Come as you are, whatever kind of week it has been. I would be happy to hear from you, even if you are still deciding.
