I am more focused on exploring than on explaining. As you share, I follow what's on your mind and work to help us discover why it's there. Very rarely do I assign "homework" or exercises to complete. I'm not afraid to bring in the Big Questions, like what it is to be alive, what you want your life to be about, and what gets in the way of that.

explore who you are and how you became that way, uncover what hurts, and through the work, help you to transform into a more whole and more invigorated version of yourself. It’s rarely simple. Most often, our work will require getting underneath what you feel is obvious about your life to learn more about how you experience yourself, others, and the world.

caring, compassionate, unafraid, and sincerely welcoming of anything you share about your life. You might also find me playful—I like to wonder about things as a first step toward finding wonder in them.

with people navigating depression and anxiety, grief and bereavement, addiction and recovery, complex trauma, identity and purpose, and with those exploring their relationship to religion and spirituality. I have particular experience helping queer, gay, and trans people, those in helping professions, and the chronically or terminally ill.

I am convinced that everyone deserves to feel like they know who they are and that their life means something.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent six years as a hospital chaplain, working with patients facing various physical and spiritual challenges. I take to heart that people are much more complex than the initial reason they seek therapy—being a “patient” is only a small sliver of what it means to be a person seeking healing.
