About

I draw on evidence-based modalities, but I'm not married to any single framework. The best therapy meets you where you are, and that means staying flexible about what tools we reach for as the work unfolds. Sessions with me tend to balance structure and exploration. Some weeks we'll work on something concrete; other weeks we'll sit with what's surfacing and see what wants attention. Therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation, not an interrogation. I aim to make our sessions feel collaborative and grounded, with room for whatever you bring through the door that day. A lot of the people I work with arrive feeling sad or feeling unhappy in a way that's hard to name. Sometimes the days feel empty or numb, and even getting to a session feels like effort. We start small and build from there, with no expectation that you arrive ready.
