The most important factor in the therapy process is the relationship that clients and I build together.  I strive to be compassionate, to help clients uncover their concerns, and to earn clients’ trust so that opening up happens in a natural way. I make every effort to listen attentively and tailor my interventions to meet the unique strengths and needs of each client I serve.  I value people of all identities and cultural backgrounds and view working toward creating an equitable and socially just world as an essential part of my role as a therapist.  While an area of emphasis in my career has been to serve clients who identify as male (running men’s groups at UW Counseling Center), I welcome individuals of all genders to contact me and learn if my approach might feel helpful. 

Right now, you may feel ready to make some changes.  Maybe you aren’t sure why things in your life aren’t unfolding the way you would like.  Perhaps you feel you could use an ally in your corner to support your efforts to open up to loved ones, to explore unhelpful thought patterns, or to just help you find a path forward to living a more rewarding life.  If this feels like the right time for you to take a step closer to reaching your personal goals, please reach out.  We can connect for a complimentary 20-minute phone or video call to determine if our working together would be a good fit for you.

About Me
When not working, I can be found biking in the city, singing in a choir, or just enjoying time with family members.
