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.
