A Human-Centered Path to Wellbeing

I’m an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and my favorite thing in the world (professionally speaking) is helping people feel safer inside their own minds. I approach therapy through relationship and values first—then layer in practical skills for life that actually stick because they make sense for you, not because a worksheet demanded it.

I help clients explore identity, navigate change, quiet the inner battles that drain their energy, and build habits they can stand behind without gritting their teeth. My work is rooted in process-based, evidence-supported therapies like ACT, CFT, and IFS, delivered through presence, compassion, and just enough humor to remind us that healing doesn’t require being miserable and serious 100% of the time.

I see therapy as a co-created space—less expert-and-receiver, more two-humans-figuring-it-out-together. My style is open, unhurried, curiosity-led, and friendly to brains that don’t think in straight lines (especially mine). For clients with busy, divergent, or ADHD-wired minds, sessions often include real-time experiments in noticing thoughts, shifting emotional patterns gently, and discovering approaches that respect how your mind already works.

I also built the HEART Documentation Framework to help clinicians chart progress in a way that reflects the reality of a session—not just a list of symptoms or completed tasks. HEART invites therapists to observe the emotional and relational movement in the room, making client change easier to track, honor, and return to.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me with my family, offering dramatic critiques of questionable movies, or experimenting in the kitchen—where I’m equally capable of one of the best meals you’ve ever had or a culinary catastrophe so impressive it deserves its own insurance policy.
