About

I believe rest is a skill, and most of us were never shown how to do it. Therapy, done well, is where you finally get to practice. I began in university counseling centers, where I met high achievers running on empty at twenty. Years later the pattern is unchanged, only the stakes are higher. My clients are overloaded and superb at hiding it, even from themselves. Together we build a life that does not require you to disappear inside it. Rest, boundaries, and honest priorities all get their turn on the docket. I am frank about how much of my clients' effort goes unseen and unthanked. Expect focus and forward motion from our sessions. I respect your time too much to waste it, and I will be candid about what I see. I will also cheer for your progress louder than you expect. If you want a therapist who treats your recovery like it matters, contact me.
