I don’t do one-size-fits-all therapy. I tailor evidence-based strategies to your needs, combining honesty, grit, and collaboration. My goal is to help you stop pretending you’re “fine” and build real tools for managing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, or feeling stuck.

We’ll cut through the surface stuff and get to what’s holding you back. Together we’ll set clear goals, reduce symptoms, and build skills to handle anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, ADHD, or life transitions. You’ll leave with strategies you can use long after therapy ends.

Clients say I’m direct, compassionate, and real. I’ll challenge you when needed, support you when it’s tough, and bring humor into the work. People describe me as engaged and down-to-earth, someone who doesn’t sugarcoat but helps them create lasting, authentic change.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, and identity concerns—helping teens, young adults, and adults build real, lasting change

I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to need support that feels real—not someone just going through the motions. I saw the difference it makes to have a therapist who listens, challenges, and helps you grow. I wanted to create that same kind of space: where people feel seen, heard, and able to make real progress.

GutCheck Therapy is for people tired of pretending they’re fine. I help teens, young adults, and adults work through anxiety, trauma, grief, ADHD, and more. My approach is direct and collaborative—we get to the root, build tools, and create real, lasting change.
