My Approach

Our first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I will ask questions about your reason for seeking therapy, your personal history, your current life circumstances, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. This information helps me make an initial assessment and begin understanding how best to support you.

I view therapy as a collaborative process. We work together to identify the challenges you’re facing and to set meaningful goals for change. My role is to help guide the process, offer perspective when helpful, and create space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and choices so you can make decisions that align with the life you want.

My style is genuine and direct. At times I may use sarcasm or dark humor—when appropriate—because humor can be a powerful way to connect, cope, and bring perspective to difficult experiences. I also welcome feedback from you, as open communication is an important part of building a strong therapeutic relationship. Ultimately, therapy is your journey, and I’m here to support and walk alongside you in the process.

I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Neurodivergent Couples Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. These approaches focus on helping you better understand your experiences, build psychological flexibility, and explore the stories you hold about yourself and your life. Together, we work to create meaningful change that aligns with your values, relationships, and goals.
