About My Clients
We work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, addiction, and the full range of relationship challenges. With couples, that often means communication that's broken down, intimacy that's faded, or the long, uncertain work of affair recovery. I also work with partners preparing for marriage who want to build something solid before the hard seasons arrive some of the most meaningful work I do happens before a crisis, not after one.
My Background and Approach
Our approach is systemic and transgenerational, which means I'm curious not only about what you're struggling with, but about where those patterns came from. Many of us are living out scripts we never chose beliefs about love, conflict, worth, and safety that we absorbed long before we had words for them. When you can see the pattern clearly, you get to decide whether to keep it. Alongside that lens, I draw on Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches, and I adjust to fit the person in front of me. Some clients need practical tools for managing panic or intrusive thoughts this week. Others need space to grieve, or to finally say something out loud they've never told anyone. Many need both at different points. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment, and I'll tell you honestly what I think will help.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe you don't need to have it all figured out before you call. You don't need the right words, a clear diagnosis, or a tidy explanation of what's wrong. You just need to be willing to start. What you can expect from me: warmth, directness, and no judgment. I'll listen closely, and I'll also ask the questions that get to the heart of things. Therapy with me is collaborative you set the direction, and I bring clinical expertise, structure, and a steady presence to help you get there. Many of the people who find me are high-functioning and capable. You may be holding a demanding career, a family, and everyone else's expectations, and doing it well enough that no one has noticed how tired you are. Therapy can be the one place you don't have to hold it together.
