My communication style

My communication style is clear, calm, and honest. I provide structure while keeping sessions conversational and respectful. I challenge clients when needed but do so with empathy. The tone is steady and grounded, creating space for clients to think critically, practice new skills, and feel supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to counseling began with a desire to understand human behavior and help people achieve real, lasting change. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in business and technology, but I found more fulfillment supporting people through challenges than managing systems. Over time, I saw how practical, evidence-based approaches work.

My goals for you

I start by identifying what matters most to the client and breaking those priorities into specific, measurable goals. Together, we outline short-term steps and track progress at each session. Using CBT and DBT methods, I help clients build the skills and accountability needed to move from insight to action.

Our first session

In our first session, we focus on getting to know each other and clarifying your goals for therapy. I'll ask about your current challenges, background, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. We'll talk about what you hope to change and begin identifying practical steps toward those goals.

I identify as...

• Cis, Male
• Caucasian or White
