I became a therapist because I'm genuinely interested in people: how we make sense of ourselves, how our experiences shape us, why we develop the patterns we do, and what happens when those patterns stop working.
My approach is grounded in neuroscience and nervous system regulation. I think understanding what is happening in your brain and body can make a lot of things that have felt confusing or frustrating start to make more sense.
I'm also direct. If I notice a pattern, I'll tell you. If I think there's another way to look at something, I'll offer it. And if something isn't working for you, we'll talk about that too.
I care about creating a relationship where you can be yourself, ask questions, disagree with me, and talk about things that may be difficult to say out loud.
My approach
I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.
Rather than following one formula, I use what fits the person sitting in front of me. Therapy might involve understanding a long-standing pattern, learning to recognize what your nervous system is doing, working through a difficult experience, changing the way you respond to anxiety, or figuring out what you actually want from your life.
A little more about me
Outside of therapy, I love live music and spending time with horses. Both have been meaningful parts of my life, and I appreciate the people, experiences, and communities that come with them.
I'm curious by nature and tend to be interested in how things work, whether that's the nervous system, human behavior, relationships, or why we keep doing something we already know isn't helping.
I bring that curiosity into my work with clients.
I also run Musician Therapy Studio, a separate practice focused specifically on mental health support for musicians and music industry professionals.
