I've been doing this work for over fifteen years. I started in community mental health, working with families in crisis. The kind of situations where there's no room for clinical distance or theoretical frameworks. You show up, you listen, you figure out what needs to happen next.
That experience shaped everything about how I practice now. I learned that people don't need a therapist who has all the answers. They need someone who can sit with them in the uncertainty, ask hard questions, and trust that they have the capacity to find their own way forward.
These days, I work primarily with individuals dealing with anxiety and trauma, and with families navigating the kinds of conflicts that can feel impossible to resolve. I also work with couples who are trying to figure out if they can make it work, or how to end things with dignity if they can't.
I'm trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. But I'm not precious about modalities. I use what works. My approach is direct, collaborative, and focused on helping you do the actual work of change, not just talk about it.
