I don’t follow a rigid method. I tailor my approach to what helps men and couples navigate life’s seasons. Sometimes that means slowing down to make sense of the story you’ve been carrying and noticing patterns that no longer serve you. Other times, it’s about building safer connections, practicing clearer communication, trying tools to ease anxiety, or creating space for emotions you’ve been holding alone.

I also keep the bigger picture in mind, your relationships, communities, and environment, so our work fits the life you’re actually living. Everything we do is aimed at helping you find clarity and authenticity that lasts.

The common thread is that therapy should feel useful and relevant to who you are—not a set of techniques that don’t fit your life.

If seeing the more technical modalities helps, I blend:

• Emotionally focused therapy (EFT)

• Narrative Therapy

• Family Systems Therapy

• Solution-focused-brief-therapy (SFBT)

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

I walk alongside emerging adults, men, and couples navigating meaningful seasons of growth and change:

• Emerging Adults (17–29) – I support young adults stepping into independence, career transitions, and adult responsibilities, helping them manage stress, anxiety, identity questions, and the challenges of navigating relationships and life decisions. [Learn more here]

• Couples – Whether you’re preparing for marriage, working through conflict, or wanting to strengthen your connection, I help couples build trust, improve communication, and create a relationship that feels steady and fulfilling. [Learn more here]

• Men – Many men in there carry stress, anxiety, or unspoken struggles alone. I work with men facing life transitions, relationship challenges, sexual health concerns, or the pressure to “have it all together,” helping them find clarity, confidence, and balance. [Learn more here]

I’m originally from the Midwest, but Washington is home now. I studied psychology at Hope College and earned my M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy at Seattle Pacific University. I am an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in WA state.

I’ve worked in emergency shelters, schools, and community mental health centers, supporting individuals, couples, and families through challenges like anxiety, societal pressures, and life transitions.

I’ve also faced my own challenges and supported many others through theirs, so I know firsthand how chaotic, uncertain, and full of doubt this time in life can feel. I bring that understanding into a space where men and couples can feel supported and challenged as they navigate their own seasons of change.

When I’m not working, I love being outdoors—hiking, cycling, lifting, or playing volleyball. I also enjoy spending time with loved ones (and dogs). These things keep me grounded, curious, and energized, and I bring that same balance and perspective into the therapy room.
