All substance, no fluff.

Therapy culture is everywhere these days: The coddling, mushy language, vague notions of “self care,” and nonsense advice. It’s confusing at best and utterly disappointing at worst.

My style is different. I like to get right to the point. I use plain language to wrap my head around exactly what’s going on with you. Our lives may be different, but with some effort, we can find common ground and get right to work. My style is highly practical and action-oriented.

I’ve got more than twenty years of professional experience with the following populations: the chronically homeless, elderly, teens, families, people with mild, moderate, and severe mental health and addiction problems, and business owners and managers, among many others. I’m a licensed master of social work.

My philosophy is to find meaning in life’s difficulties. Suffering is unavoidable, but understanding why we keep moving forward is one key to surviving hardships.
