About
How I Work
I see therapy as a team effort. You’ll bring your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, and I’ll bring insight, perspective, and tools that actually work. Together, we’ll make sense of things and find ways forward that don’t feel like more work.
Sessions are part detective work, part teaching, part plotting - plus a little wry commentary on the human condition. We’ll tackle the heavy stuff while making room for humor, curiosity, and small victories that make change feel real. I draw from evidence-based treatment approaches and tailor them to meet your needs.

Getting Started
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, so I try to make the process as simple and low-pressure as possible.
Reach out
Send me a quick message through my contact form. I’ll reply within 24-48 business hours. We’ll schedule a brief call (~15 minutes) to see if we’re a good fit.
Consultation Call
We’ll chat about what’s going on for you, I’ll share about how I work, and we’ll go over any questions or preferences you have. We’ll touch on billing, fees, and sliding scale options if that’s something you’d like to discuss.
Schedule your first session
If it feels like a match, we’ll pick a time for your first appointment and get you set up in my client portal.
