About

A first session with me feels less like an evaluation and more like setting down something heavy. You tell me as much or as little as you want, and I ask questions that help us both understand what brought you in. I found this field the way many people do: I was a client first, and someone's patience changed my life. These days I work mostly with substance use, from the barely-visible kind to the kind that has quietly taken over the calendar. You'll never get a script from me; change holds when it grows from your own reasons, so we spend our time finding out what those are. I offer sessions in American Sign Language (ASL) and welcome Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients. My style is real talk with a soft landing: honest, human, never rushed. I aim to be the person I wish I'd found on my own first try. If part of you has been waiting for a sign to begin, consider this it.
