About My Clients
A central theme in my work is over-responsibility. Many of my clients have become highly skilled at anticipating needs, managing tension, staying composed, and carrying emotional weight for others. Those capacities may have helped them function well for a long time, but they can also lead to anxiety, depletion, confusion about boundaries, and a diminished sense of self in relationships. I offer a steady, thoughtful space to understand those patterns and loosen their grip.
My Background and Approach
My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and in-depth. That means we look beneath the immediate symptom to understand the emotional history, attachment patterns, and long-standing ways of adapting that are still shaping your present life. I look to explore why certain pressures, fears, and relational habits have become so familiar, and, what it might feel like to live with more clarity, groundedness, and freedom. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over fifteen years as a visual designer. That background continues to shape how I work. I see therapy as a creative and exploratory process that requires slowing down, listening carefully, and making room for what has not yet been fully seen or understood. I bring patience, curiosity, and care to that process, and I take seriously both the weight of what you carry and the real possibility of change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I trained at Fuller Seminary and Biola University, and I hold a theology degree in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care. I bring genuine care and respect to the intersection of mental health and spiritual life. I work well with clients who want their faith taken seriously in therapy, and I also work with those whose spiritual lives have become complicated by doubt, disappointment, grief, or pain. I approach this part of a person’s life with care and respect, helping them explore it in a way that feels thoughtful and honest.
