About My Clients
You may be dealing with depression, BPD, bipolar disorder or emotions that have become difficult to manage alone. Perhaps you’re leaving inpatient or intensive treatment and want continued support as you adjust to everyday life. I work with teens and adults, including people navigating self-harm, addiction, trauma or questions about identity and purpose. We’ll build on what has helped and work out what you need now. To work with me, book through my website.
My Background and Approach
I have more than a decade of experience in inpatient and outpatient settings, including work with people facing self-harm, suicidal thoughts, PTSD, severe depression and addiction. I also support clients transitioning from higher levels of care who need therapy to connect with what happens next. My approach draws from CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic and existential therapy. Some sessions may focus on coping skills, boundaries or an exercise to try between appointments. At other times, we may look more deeply at relationships, identity or the beliefs shaping how you see yourself. When it fits, I also use Jungian ideas such as shadow work and individuation to explore parts of yourself you may have ignored or struggled to accept. I’m warm and relatable, but also practical and direct. I’ll remember what we’ve discussed, connect patterns across sessions and give you tools that make sense for where you are.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m especially interested in men’s mental health and the ways ideas about masculinity can make it difficult to ask for help, express emotion or know who you are outside of what others expect. I welcome clients across the gender and LGBTQ+ spectrum, including people questioning parts of their identity. I’m also an adoptee and have personal experience with invisible disability. I know these experiences can raise complicated questions about identity, belonging and how much of yourself feels safe to explain to other people. I won’t assume my experience is the same as yours, but I’m comfortable making room for those questions. I believe therapy can be practical while still leaving space for philosophy, spirituality, humor and the search for meaning.
