Exploring the Stories That Shape Us.

Dense forested mountains covered in fog and mist.

Life can be overwhelming. Sometimes we feel disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or simply unsure of the path forward. I believe that understanding our stories is the key to getting unstuck.

We Are the Stories We Live.

Whether I am in the therapy room, deep in research, or writing at my desk, I am driven by a single conviction: we are narrative creatures. We live by scripts. Some we wrote ourselves; others were written for us by family, by trauma, or by the world.

For many of us, especially those used to carrying the weight of responsibilities, the script eventually stops working. The character we present to the world begins to crowd out the person underneath. We find ourselves stuck in loops of anxiety, or haunted by chapters we have tried to close.

My Work: Editing the Arc

I don’t view your struggles as errors or mistakes; I view them as shadows in a story. My work is dedicated to helping others navigate complex trauma and the exhaustion of modern life. I’m driven by the ancient question: What does it mean to live a good life? Aiming to look beyond "feeling better" to the deeper work of building character, courage, and true connection.

For the High Achiever & The Modern Man

I have a particular heart for men and high achievers, those who are successful on paper but exhausted in spirit. You may have learned to endure pain, but perhaps you haven't learned how to process it. Here, you do not have to perform. You can set down the heavy armor and look at the map for what comes next.

My Approach

I balance the warmth of a fellow traveler with the precision of a researcher. As a doctoral student, I use frameworks like Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you integrate the fragmented parts of your story.

Whether you are navigating the aftermath of trauma or the hollowness of burnout, we will walk toward a life that is not just successful, but whole.
