I work with women who are tired of their own patterns.
I'm a licensed therapist with 8 years of experience working with women on relational patterns — people-pleasing, boundary issues, and the slow erosion of identity that comes from putting everyone else first.
I'm also a man. That's not incidental. Many of the women I work with have spent their lives managing the emotions of the men around them — deferring, shrinking, and making themselves smaller to keep the peace. Having a male therapist who sees that pattern clearly, names it directly, and has no stake in you continuing it — that's something different.
““I’m not interested in being easy on you. I’m interested in being honest with you — which is probably rarer than it should be.””
Why this work
I've watched these patterns destroy relationships — not just romantic ones, but friendships, families, and women's relationships with themselves. The woman who gives everything and slowly disappears. The one who is needed by everyone and known by no one.
I'm a husband and a father. I've seen from the inside how invisible the labor of emotional caretaking can be — and how much damage goes unspoken when a woman has never been given permission to have her own needs, her own voice, her own limits.
This work matters to me more than anything else I've done professionally. Not because it's easy — it isn't — but because the change is real. Women who do this work don't just feel better. They become harder to take advantage of, clearer about who they are, and far less willing to disappear.
How I work
I use a direct, practical approach grounded in CBT, REBT, and Reality Therapy. We don't spend years circling the past. We identify your specific patterns, understand where they came from, and build the concrete skills to change them.
Sessions are focused and honest. I will challenge you when I need to. I won't tell you everything is fine when it isn't. If you're looking for someone who will validate every choice you make, I'm probably not your therapist. If you want someone who will tell you the truth and help you do something with it, we'll work well together.
I offer individual therapy, small group programs for women, and intensive sessions for those who want to move faster.
