About

If you're reading this, some part of you is already reaching for something better, even while the rest of you stays skeptical. I'd like to work with the part that's reaching. I began in research and left because I wanted the person in front of me, not the data about them. My practice now centers on combat veterans and others living with what abuse and violence leave behind. I take a harm reduction approach, which means we start exactly where things stand, shrink the damage first, and let bigger goals grow at their own rate instead of demanding perfection by Friday. Progress that survives a bad week is the only kind I trust. I try to offer the quiet, dependable backing many of my clients never got from anyone. There is no lecture waiting for you here, only good questions and a long memory for what matters to you. When you're ready to talk, so am I.
