Hello and welcome. It is easy to become upset when we experience hardships and lack a safe and supportive environment in which to work through them. Nor does it help when, owing to circumstances beyond our control, we find it difficult to be ourselves and lose touch with what makes us "us." What has been found helpful in such circumstances is a trusting and respectful relationship with a therapist. Such a relationship, and the insight it promotes, can facilitate growth, empowerment, and positive change. I highly enjoy working with the university and young-adult population and take seriously your obstacles, progress, and growth.

My style is one of nonjudgmental curiosity and empowerment, and I tailor my approach to your unique set of strengths and goals. My path to becoming a therapist began as a teen, with personal encounters of social anxiety, low self-esteem, and the pressures I felt to mask my vulnerability and authentic self. I came to understand the impact that a kind, curious, and persistent collaborator can have on someone struggling. This experience deepened my commitment to providing that same service to others, including men and boys who may relate, bringing a steady, compassionate, and exploratory perspective to each session. In my free time, I’m a houseplant enthusiast, and I love to cook, especially experimenting with many cuisines and ingredients. I also strive to stay active year-round with different forms of physical exercise, including weight-lifting, snowboarding, volleyball, other recreational sports, and yoga/stretching.
