Who I Work With

Many of my clients arrive feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or tangled in patterns they’ve tried to shift for years. Whether it’s anxiety, relationship dynamics, sexual exploration, or just the sense that something is off—what they all share is a deep desire to live more connected, authentic lives. My job is to meet you where you are, with curiosity, warmth, and clarity, and help you move toward where you want to go.

Why Do People Choose Me?

Because it’s not just what I do—it’s how I show up. I bring warmth, clarity, and directness into the room in ways that help clients feel empowered, seen, and safe to explore deeply. Our work is collaborative, honest, and grounded in your real-life goals and values.

I Bring Warmth

Clients often tell me they feel truly seen in our work. I bring a presence that is both nonjudgmental and gently curious—one that allows you to explore parts of yourself without shame. You’ll find space to speak honestly, and space to be silent, too.

I’m Direct—When It Matters

I won’t dance around the truth if I believe naming something clearly will serve you. That said, directness doesn’t mean coldness. It means I care enough to be honest with you—even when that honesty invites discomfort. Because that’s where growth lives.

  • You’ll get feedback that’s both compassionate and constructive.
  • I won’t pathologize your experience—I’ll help you understand it.

I’m Pragmatic

Insight is important—but action changes lives. Together, we’ll build toward what’s workable, sustainable, and rooted in your real-world values.

  • Sessions blend reflection and tangible tools.
  • We make room for emotion and strategy.

I Prioritize Process, Not Just Outcomes

I know that growth isn’t linear. You’re not a problem to fix; you’re a person learning to navigate with more clarity, courage, and connection.

Sometimes we’ll laugh. Sometimes you might cry. And sometimes we’ll sit in silence while something important comes into view. All of it is welcome here.
