There are many reasons someone finds their way here. Sometimes there’s a clear struggle; sometimes it’s just a quiet sense that something isn’t quite working the way it used to. You may be reflecting on patterns that no longer serve you, feeling worn down by emotional weight, or noticing questions about identity, purpose, grief, anxiety, or relationships coming into sharper focus. Whatever brings you, you’re not required to have answers. Many people come looking not for a fix, but for a steadier way of being— more clarity, more groundedness, and a life that feels genuinely their own.

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It’s about getting curious. I offer a warm, grounded, relational space where nothing in you is “too much”; and where we can slow down without getting stuck.

Rooted in relational, humanistic, transpersonal and existential approaches, I help you notice patterns, make room for emotion, and develop a more honest, workable relationship with yourself and others. I have completed various training courses with the Existential-Humanistic Institute including the Core Skills
Workshop as well as Phase 1 training in Brainspotting, a powerful brain-body approach that can help access and process what words alone sometimes can’t reach — bringing both depth and practical movement to the work.

I work with adults navigating a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, grief, identity, life transitions, relational stress, and the quieter struggles that don’t always have a name. I work with men who are ready to go beneath the surface — beyond what they’ve been told they’re supposed to feel — and with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Being part of that community myself, I understand firsthand what it means to want a space where your full self is not just tolerated but genuinely welcomed. My own path includes training in Reiki and Restorative Energy Healing, and a deep curiosity about the spiritual dimensions of the human experience — threads that inform how I show up, even when they aren’t the explicit focus of our work.

Whether you’re in the middle of something difficult or simply aware that somethingneeds to shift, there is a place for you here. It’s not easy to reach out — especially when part of you wonders if change is possible. You deserve to feel seen, supported, and met as a whole person. If what you’ve read resonates, trust that pull. You don’t have to do this alone.
