Therapy doesn’t have to feel formal or intimidating. I’m a pretty down-to-earth therapist, and I want our work to feel like a real conversation—not a script. I help adults work through anxiety, depression, substance use, self-esteem, life changes, and other challenges, with a practical approach and plenty of room for humor along the way.
