Starting therapy can feel intimidating. Many people worry their problems aren’t “serious enough,” feel they should have everything figured out before reaching out, or have had experiences where therapy felt overly clinical or scripted.
I believe therapy can be different. My approach is conversational, collaborative, and authentic. You don’t need the perfect words to explain what’s going on, and you don’t need to justify why you deserve support. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to better understand what you’re experiencing and develop practical tools to help.
Using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, my goal is to help you regain a sense of control, build confidence in navigating life’s challenges, and create lasting change so things feel more manageable over time.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, especially when it involves sharing a meal around a sporting event. Bonus points if that event is a Michigan Wolverines football game! I also enjoy cooking on the BBQ, going on road trips with my wife to explore new places, and collecting vintage records.
