I believe therapy should be both supportive and practical. My approach is solution-focused and directive, meaning I’ll actively guide you, ask direct questions, and provide feedback to help you move toward change. I often give homework or practices between sessions so you can continue making progress outside the therapy room. Clients who work with me appreciate having clear steps, concrete tools, and a structured process that helps them feel more grounded and capable.

While I bring warmth and compassion to every session, I also believe in being honest and straightforward. Therapy isn’t always easy, but it can be transformative when we approach it with courage and accountability. Together, we’ll set goals, strengthen coping strategies, and build skills that support long-term growth and resilience.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will both listen deeply and give you direction, I may be a good fit.
