Are you drawn to the complex, unconventional heroes who challenge norms and break the fourth wall? Do you appreciate dark humor and a straightforward approach? If so, I might be the therapist for you. Just as heroes and anti-heroes evolve, we too can learn and master new skills. Building a strong foundation involves assessing our coping mechanisms and embracing our authentic selves. It’s my goal to work with you to explore your interests – whether it’s discussing your favorite characters, sharing your passion for music, anything that resonates with you.
I value humor, honesty, vulnerability, and authenticity in my work with patients. My practice is grounded in professional integrity, relational ethics, respect for diversity, equity, and inclusion, and a commitment to continuous self-development. Patients have often told me that I don’t fit the typical therapist stereotype. I bring an authentic, down-to-earth personality to my sessions, and I’m not afraid to use dark humor when appropriate. I strive to meet my patients where they are, and I’m committed to facing challenges alongside them. Patients have expressed that I provide a secure and non-judgmental space where they can process their experiences and acquire valuable skills to navigate their lives, especially when feeling overwhelmed by their circumstances.

Personal Interests
I might be a little too obsessed with Pedro Pascal and I love going to Papa Roach concerts. I have a horse named Big Booty Judy and a collection of floral tattoos. I prefer action and sci-fi like Godzilla, Marvel, or Star Wars over rom-coms. I’m also currently aspiring to become an anime nerd.
