If you're asking the question, that's usually the answer. Most people wait much longer than they need to - until a crisis, until something breaks. You don't have to be in crisis for therapy to be useful. A free consultation costs you 20 minutes.
-
A real conversation - usually 15–20 minutes, by phone or video. You can tell me what's going on, ask questions about my approach, and we figure out whether working together makes sense. No pressure, no commitment, no paperwork before we've even talked.
-
Expect a conversation, not an interrogation. In the first session, I'll want to understand what brought you in, what you're hoping to get out of this, and a bit about your background. You don't need to have it figured out before you show up.
-
Because not all therapists are the same. My approach is goal-oriented, direct, and grounded in the future rather than the past. If you've done therapy before and felt like you were talking in circles, this will feel different.
Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
-
My primary modality is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - one of the most researched approaches in mental health. CBT works by helping you identify the patterns of thinking and behavior that are keeping you stuck and building more effective ones. In my practice, CBT is a framework, not a script.
-
Both, but not equally. Understanding where you came from helps explain why you think and respond the way you do. But I'm not interested in making your past the permanent center of the conversation. We understand it, we learn from it, and then we focus on where you're going.
-
That's genuinely different for everyone. Some people come in with a specific, bounded goal and find resolution in a few months. Others are dealing with something accumulated over years and want ongoing support. I'll be honest with you about where I think you are.
-
I'll give you my honest perspective, which is sometimes more direct than clients expect. But the goal isn't for me to tell you what to do with your life — it's to help you get clear enough that you can make decisions from clarity rather than reactivity.

Not at all. I work with athletes at every level - high school, collegiate, recreational, competitive adult leagues. I also work with former athletes who retired years ago but still carry the athlete mindset into their current lives.
-
What you share in therapy is confidential. It goes nowhere without your explicit permission. And for what it's worth — the athletes I work with consistently perform better after they start addressing what's going on mentally.
Frequently Asked Questions
For Athletes
-
No. Everything shared in therapy is protected under federal HIPAA privacy law. I cannot share any information about your care with your employer, department, or commanding officer without your explicit written consent.

Absolutely. Chronic stress, hypervigilance, burnout, adrenaline dependency, relationship strain — none of these require a PTSD diagnosis. If the job is affecting your life, that's enough.

Postpartum depression is more common than most people realize, and it responds well to treatment. What you share in therapy is protected by confidentiality. My role isn't to judge you or report you; it's to help you feel like yourself again.
