Get to know me

What clients often appreciate about my style
I explain the reasoning behind what we do, invite questions, and make sure treatment feels collaborative rather than mysterious.
A misconception about anxiety
The goal is not to eliminate every anxious feeling. It is to stop anxiety from making your decisions for you.
What our first session includes
We clarify symptoms, context, strengths, and goals so that you leave with a shared understanding and a sensible next step.
My approach in three words
Clear, compassionate, evidence-based.
When therapy is working
You spend less time negotiating with fear and more time participating in relationships, work, rest, and experiences that matter.
