Introduction

I specialize in working with men, and understand the ways that masculine identity can complicate mental health and treatment. I also provide neurodiversity-affirming care to adults with ADHD or other neurodivergence, and identify as a neurodivergent clinician myself. I take an eclectic, client-centered, evidence-based approach that focuses on combining the best available research with your individual preferences and learning/interaction styles. Our time in therapy will focus on teaching you skills to help you relate to yourself, your emotions, and your thoughts in more effective ways, while also exploring and validating the reasons that you developed your current patterns in the first place. I pride myself in my deep sense of empathy, and have been told often that I have a calming presence. I have over six years experience in inpatient facilities, often treating clients at their most difficult moment of crisis. I won't ever judge you for difficult thoughts or feelings, and I'll use my experience to guide you through those moments safely. I believe strongly in the power of counseling to change lives: I'm in this field because I've experienced it firsthand. I also know that reaching out for help can be challenging, especially when you're struggling. You're already making progress towards change by starting this search and being on here! I would love to help you continue that journey.
