About My Clients

I work with adults who spend a lot of time in their own heads. Maybe you’re overthinking your relationship, struggling to feel at home in your body, feeling disconnected from people you care about, or trying to figure out what you want your life to look like moving forward. You might look like you’re doing pretty well on the outside while privately feeling like something isn’t quite right.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Millennial therapist, and my style is warm, relational, collaborative, and grounded in trust and mutual respect. I’m curious about who you are, how you came to see yourself and the world the way you do, and what matters to you now. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer another perspective when it may be helpful, and probably make you laugh from time to time. My approach is humanistic and narrative, which means I see you as the expert on your own life. We can look at patterns that have developed over time, make sense of why they’re there, and figure out whether they’re still working for you. I don’t believe therapy has to feel clinical or overly formal to be meaningful. Some sessions may involve hard conversations, some may have a surprising amount of laughter, and most will probably have a little of each. Safety and genuine connection are at the heart of my therapy style.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people make sense in the context of their lives, relationships, and experiences. I believe we all deserve to feel safe, respected, and understood. I believe all bodies are worthy of dignity and respect. My work around body image and food is rooted in body autonomy, weight inclusivity, and the understanding that health and worth are not determined by someone’s size. I also love working with men and believe they deserve tenderness, too. There is no single right way to be a man, experience emotion, need other people, or move through the world.
