About Me

Most of us arrive at a moment, sometimes quietly and sometimes in desperate struggle, when we sense that the life we are living and the life we were meant to live are not quite the same thing. We may not have words for it yet. We may have been carrying it for years. But something deep inside of us knows it. And at some point, that knowing becomes too loud to ignore.
 

If you have found your way here, you may be at that moment.
 

I want you to know something before we begin. Whatever you are carrying, whatever you have been afraid to look at directly, whatever armor you have needed to wear to get through your days: you do not have to wear it here. Whoever you have had to be out there, you can explore being someone different in this room, safely and without judgment. This is a space where it is safe to put the armor down. Not because I have all the answers. I do not. But because I will not flinch at what you bring, I will not rush you past it, and I will not leave you alone in it.
 

What I bring to this work is not a formula. It is a relationship. I believe, without reservation, that the relationship we build together is the single most important factor in whether this work actually changes anything. Not the techniques, not the frameworks, not the clinical language, though all of those have their place. The relationship itself. The quality of the space between us; ne that in person or across the internet. That is what I take most seriously, and that is where I place my deepest investment.
 

I came to this work the long way around. Like most people, I lived many years of my life guided by the beliefs that were handed to me, the expectations that were placed on me, and my silent agreement to them all. Yet throughout those years, something in me knew, quietly and persistently, that the life I was living was not mine. It took years of deep, often uncomfortable personal work and no small amount of suffering to find my way back to what I had always known was waiting for me. Counseling was always among those things.
 

That journey did not just change what I do. It changed who I am. And it is the reason I can sit with you in the difficult places without needing to move you out of them before you are ready.
 

I am not a finished person. I carry the same rising and falling of urgency and uncertainty that brings most people to therapy in the first place. I am not on the other side of it. I am in it alongside you, working the same fundamental questions from a different angle. That is not a liability. I believe it is precisely what makes this work honest.
 

What I can promise you is this: your struggles matter to me. Not as a case. Not as a presenting problem. As a human being whose life is worth showing up for fully. That is what I will bring every time.
 

This is who will be in the room with you.
