I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are—no masks, no pretending. My goal is to help you explore your life in a deep and meaningful way, with honesty, curiosity, and care. I came to this work from a creative background because I’m passionate about the human experience—what makes us who we are, what holds us back, and what helps us grow.
I work with people who want to feel more alive, more connected, and more at peace with themselves and their relationships. Many of my clients are younger men navigating anxiety, self-doubt, or questions of identity and direction. Together, we build confidence, relational skills, and a stronger sense of purpose—without having to give up your sensitivity, creativity, or depth.
At the core of my practice is the belief that healing happens in relationship. When you feel truly seen and heard, new possibilities open up. I use an integrative, relational approach that draws from psychodynamic, existential, and humanistic traditions—always tailored to your unique story and needs. I also welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds. I am LGBTQIA+ affirmative, culturally sensitive, and sex-positive. Whoever you are, you are welcome here.

Education
I received my bachelors degree in creative writing from Wesleyan University. After working in creative fields, I decided to go back to school where I earned my Marriage and Family Therapist degree from Antioch University. I completed my training at Airport Marina Counseling Service where I helped a diverse group of clients with a large range of issues in both individual and group settings.
Bio
I come from a background in television and creative writing, and show up to my practice authentically. I believe that real growth and healing happens when I connect with my clients human to human in a real way. You won't find a blank slate here!
Though I work with individuals and couples of all ages and from many walks of life, I specialize in helping young men find themselves and achieve their goals. In my free time, you can find me cooking, playing with my dog, and painting Warhammer 40K miniatures.
