Your Path to Empowerment
About Me
Real Therapy for Real People
I'm not your typical nodding therapist who just asks "how does that make you feel?" every five minutes. As a seasoned mental health professional, I bring something different to the therapeutic relationship—authenticity, directness, and a genuine commitment to your growth.
Why My Clients Stay
My clients consistently tell me what sets our work apart:
I keep it real. Expect straightforward feedback and honest observations. When you're caught in contradictions or self-deception, I'll compassionately but firmly point it out. Growth happens outside your comfort zone, and I'm not afraid to guide you there.I'm a human first, therapist second. You won't find clinical detachment or robotic responses here. I laugh, I connect, and I bring my full personality to our sessions. Therapy is a relationship, and authentic relationships require authentic people.
I balance challenge with compassion. While I'll call out patterns that aren't serving you, I also create a genuinely safe space where vulnerability is honored. My office is where difficult truths meet deep understanding.I'm invested in real outcomes. I'm not interested in endless sessions with minimal progress. My approach focuses on tangible growth and meaningful change in your life. When you succeed, I succeed.
My Approach - I believe therapy works best when it combines:
-
Honest feedback that cuts through denial
-
Evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs
-
A genuine human connection that builds trust
-
Clear goals with measurable progress
If you're ready for a therapist who will challenge you, champion you, and create space for transformative growth, we might be the right fit. I don't offer band-aids—I offer breakthroughs. Let's talk and get shit done.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – My primary framework helps you accept what's outside your control while committing to actions that enrich your life. ACT is particularly effective for anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions by helping you clarify your values and develop psychological flexibility.
