My communication style

I hope everyone I work with feels greeted warmly, heard, and like they're talking with someone who genuinely cares. Humor is very important to me, and when I've been able to genuinely laugh with someone, I think progress is always possible.

My journey to mental healthcare

This is my third career. I worked in software, then as a musician and studio engineer. I made a documentary and spent time on the film festival circuit. I still love new music, mountain biking, meeting people from everywhere, and doing all I can to help everyone I'm lucky enough to work with.

My goals for you

I've found goal-setting to be a collaboration most of the time. For some people, it starts with wanting to feel better, but there's usually a way to help you find specific things you'd like to change or feel better about.

Our first session

In a first session, we talk about a little bit of everything, and hopefully you feel understood and not so alone in whatever you're going through. We don't solve everything in one or two sessions, but we try to connect the big picture and the little one a bit.
