About My Clients
My ideal client is thoughtful, self-aware, and tired of going in circles. They may be dealing with anxiety, grief, betrayal, heartbreak, a difficult relationship, or a major life change they didn't ask for. They may be functioning well on the outside while internally replaying conversations, questioning their own judgment, overthinking everything, or trying to make sense of someone else's behavior. I work especially well with people who want more than reassurance or a list of coping skills.
My Background and Approach
I'm not loyal to one therapy model just for the sake of being loyal to a therapy model. Different problems require different tools. Sometimes we need to look at your thoughts. Sometimes we need to talk about grief. Sometimes we need to look at the relationship pattern you keep getting pulled into. Sometimes the issue is boundaries, avoidance, guilt, self-trust, or the fact that you're trying to solve a problem that is not actually yours to solve. So I pull from different approaches depending on what's happening and what's actually useful. I'm interested in what works, not in making you fit neatly inside a textbook model.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm not a therapist who is going to sit silently for 50 minutes, nod occasionally, and then ask how that made you feel. I am engaged. I ask questions. I notice patterns. I will tell you what I'm seeing. I will validate what deserves validation, and I will also challenge you when I think you are getting stuck, avoiding something important, or being much harder on yourself than the situation actually calls for. There is room here for grief, anger, confusion, ugly truths, dark humor, bad decisions, overthinking, faith, and the occasional sentence that starts with, "I know this sounds crazy, but..." I work especially well with adults dealing with anxiety, grief, heartbreak, betrayal, complicated relationships, and major life changes. What happened matters. But I do not want the worst thing that happened to you to become the organizing principle for the rest of your life.
