About My Clients
I work with teens, young adults, adults, couples, and parents who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but can’t seem to change. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, self-harm, impulsivity, relationship stress, parenting overwhelm, identity questions, or just the sense that something isn’t working anymore. You do not need therapy language here. Raw, honest, confused, sarcastic, unsure, or “I have no idea where to start” are all welcome.
My Background and Approach
I’m a social worker and therapist with more than a decade of experience in behavioral health and crisis-focused work, including suicide and self-harm intervention, crisis stabilization, supervision, and work with children, teens, adults, and families. That background means I’m comfortable sitting with complicated situations without immediately trying to label, judge, or “fix” you. My approach is collaborative, creative, practical, and individualized. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, narrative work, attachment and family-systems perspectives, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and expressive or experiential approaches when they fit. I’m interested in understanding why your patterns developed, what purpose they may have served, and whether they still work for the life you want now. Therapy should fit you — not the other way around.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people make a lot more sense when we understand the context around them. Behaviors that look irrational, unhealthy, avoidant, impulsive, or “too much” often developed for a reason. That doesn’t mean we have to keep them forever — it means we can get curious before we get judgmental. I value authenticity, autonomy, humor, creativity, and treating clients like full human beings rather than diagnoses. You can swear. You can say the thing you think sounds terrible. You can tell me a coping skill is useless. You can disagree with me. Therapy does not need to sound polished to be meaningful. Outside of traditional talk therapy, I’m interested in creative and experiential approaches, movement, nature, symbolism, mindfulness, and finding unconventional ways to understand ourselves. I care deeply about creating spaces where people can explore who they are without being told who they are supposed to be.
