About

My favorite part of this job is a small one: someone stops mid-sentence, squints, and says, wait, that is not even true, is it? That tiny pause is overthinking meeting daylight, and it is where change begins. I have spent years supervising newer clinicians, which keeps me honest about why I do what I do in the room. My home base is CBT, which suits how I think: clear, collaborative, testable. We will trace where your stress actually comes from, not just where it lands. Then we try small changes between sessions and keep whatever works, dropping the rest without ceremony. I am told I am easy to talk to, and I take that as the compliment it is. Expect sessions that feel like a working conversation with someone squarely in your corner. If you are wondering whether this could help, send a note; wondering is a fine place to start.
