I work with individuals ages 16 and up. My approach blends thoughtful listening with practical guidance. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep you stuck and find ways to actually change them.
My practice is client-led—we focus on what matters most to you right now. Whether you're navigating relationship struggles, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, or personality disorders, we'll work on the issues that feel most pressing in your life.
My work is rooted in analytical and depth psychology—I'm interested in the unconscious patterns and past experiences that shape who you are today. We will not get lost in your history. Instead, we bring those root causes into awareness so they can inform meaningful change now. I believe identity precedes behavior: when we have a greater awareness of ourselves, right actions will follow.
I draw from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing—whatever fits you best. Some sessions we explore your inner world deeply. Others, we focus on concrete next steps. Therapy should feel purposeful and help you move forward.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a health coach, farmer, carpenter, and yoga teacher. That variety taught me there's no single right way to be human, but there are patterns worth understanding and behaviors worth changing.
I'm an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor working toward full licensure and currently pursuing advanced training in analytical psychology. Outside of sessions, I train at the gym, practice martial arts, tend my garden, and build things in my workshop—activities that ground me in the same values I bring to therapy: discipline, patience, and showing up consistently.
I'm direct, open, and genuinely curious about who you are and what brought you here. Therapy works best when both people show up ready to do the work—it takes commitment, honesty, and a willingness to look at yourself clearly. If you're ready for that, I'm here to help you understand what's keeping you stuck and find ways to actually change it.
