I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. With a warm, client-centered approach, I use a mix of humanistic, strengths-based, CBT, and mindfulness techniques to support clients in processing difficult emotions and discovering their own path toward healing. The focus of this process is collaborating with you, the client, by creating a safe and understanding space, which is the foundation of any successful therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with teens and adults, particularly those who are neurodiverse, including individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. I also provide support to people navigating grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of the individual, creating a compassionate and supportive environment for growth and healing. Healing comes from within, and you are the expert on yourself. It is always my hope to be an empowering force for you in the pursuit of whatever it is you aim to achieve in therapy. In addition to individual therapy, I am also open to working with family systems when needed, recognizing how important these dynamics can be in the healing process. While we may all be individuals, we are constantly operating within systems. If you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, or just need someone to help you work through life’s challenges, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

My time as a young ski instructor taught me the value of empathy, which later led to my becoming a mental health therapist. Teaching skiing on the side of a mountain requires building trust and rapport, effectively managing the scene to meet the client's needs and wishes, and maintaining safety all while fostering a fun and educational environment. I've used this empathy-based, client-centered approach throughout my therapeutic practice. Coupled with life experiences, my passion for empathic connection became my calling to train for a career dedicated to exceptional clinical work. When I’m not seeing patients, you’ll find me on the slopes! Skiing is a special blend of exercise, outdoor adventure, and connection with others. As a passionate skier and certified ski instructor, I love sharing this fantastic sport with my wife, family and friends, and students of all levels and backgrounds. Off the snow, I’m often hiking with my wife and friends, enjoying the exercise and the beauty and scale of nature.

You don’t have to keep managing this on your own.

A clinical therapist with 5 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping adults and teenagers navigate the complex intersection of mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive thoughts, substance use, life transitions, and the difficult process of reentering society after incarceration I'm passionate about guiding individuals through trauma-informed care, valuing the worth of each person, and focusing on strengths as they regain stability, rebuild relationships, and find purpose.

This experience affords me a unique perspective into the current struggles of those around me, an insight I bring to each session to better help my community.

You’re not broken—you’re worn out from living in survival mode. Many of my clients are insightful, capable people who have spent years managing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or shutdown by staying strong and self-reliant. These patterns didn’t appear by accident—they developed to protect you. In our work together, we slow things down and listen to what your nervous system has been holding. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions through a trauma- and nervous-system-informed approach. Drawing from parts work (IFS), Polyvagal theory, somatic awareness, and feminist therapy, therapy becomes a process of restoring safety, emotional regulation, and self-trust—rather than pushing yourself to “fix” what isn’t broken. I offer a grounded, compassionate space where sensitivity is understood as intelligence shaped by experience. Healing here is not about becoming someone new, but about softening survival patterns so you can feel more at ease, connected, and fully yourself.

You will find me to be an authentic and direct therapist that will focus on your values and strengths to guide the therapy process. My philosophy is that therapy is the space to get into how and why what you’re trying to do differently isn’t working (because you probably already have enough people willing to tell you), and what you should be doing with your life. I won’t promise that therapy will make the hard stuff in your life go away, but what I know it can do is help you find a way through the hard stuff with meaning and help build resilience. My specialties include depression, anxiety, family of origin issues, interpersonal distress and eating disorders (including binge eating, Bulimia, ARFID, Anorexia and disordered eating as a result of trauma or chronic illness). I also have experience with borderline personality disorder, complex trauma and navigating how to be the support person for a loved one going through mental health issues. In my 10+ years as a therapist I have supported individuals and families as they move through some of the hardest moments in their lives and into a fulfilling, meaningful journey forward and look forward to helping you do the same. I use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) as the foundation to conceptualize the concerns you’re seeking help with. Once we both have a clear picture of the issues, we will get creative within a wide range of therapy modalities to find interventions that fit your life & temperament.In addition to seeing clients, I also provide supervision to psychology students and post graduate clinicians working on their hours for licensure. “I am thankful for my struggle because without it I wouldn’t have discovered my strength. I am learning to honor the space between no longer & not yet.” – unknown
