Thoughtful, Individualized Therapy

My approach to therapy combines evidence-based practice with more than two decades of clinical experience and an existential-integrative perspective. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, therapy is tailored to the needs, experiences, strengths, and goals of each individual, couple, or family.

Together, we may address immediate concerns while also exploring the experiences, relationships, patterns, and questions of meaning that shape how you understand yourself and your life. The goal is not simply to reduce distress, but to foster greater understanding, resilience, connection, and meaningful change.
