About me
A therapist who believes healing is possible — for everyone
I started Goodkind Therapy because I believe people deserve a space where they can be fully honest, fully themselves, and fully supported.
Hello
I'm a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and the complicated terrain of being human. My approach is warm, direct, and deeply collaborative — I'm not here to hand you a diagnosis and a worksheet. I'm here to actually get to know you.
I started this practice because I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a clinical transaction. The people I work with are thoughtful, often high-functioning, and frequently carrying more than anyone around them realizes. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
I work with adults across a wide range of concerns — from anxiety and depression to trauma, relationship struggles, and identity questions. Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you're considering it.
My approach to therapy
You already have the capacity to heal
GoodKind Therapy believes every person already has the capacity to heal, grow, and change. Therapy is the space where that capacity gets room to breathe. My role isn't to fix you or tell you who to be. It's to walk alongside you with curiosity, honesty, and care while you find your own way forward.
The relationship comes first
Research keeps finding that the connection between client and therapist is one of the strongest predictors of good outcomes. I work hard to build a relationship where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard — without judgment, even when what you bring feels messy or hard to say.
You are the expert on your life
I bring clinical training, but you bring knowledge of your history, values, culture, and goals. Together we shape an approach that fits you — not a one-size-fits-all formula.
Insight and action both matter
We'll explore where patterns come from, because understanding the "why" can be freeing. We'll also focus on practical tools you can use between sessions, so change shows up in your daily life and not just in my office.
Context matters
Your struggles don't exist in a vacuum. Identity, relationships, trauma, culture, and life circumstances all shape how we feel and cope. I aim to honor the whole of who you are.
Growth isn't linear
Setbacks are part of the process, not proof of failure. I'll meet you with patience wherever you are on any given day.
My hope is that you leave therapy not just feeling better, but understanding yourself more deeply and trusting your own ability to handle what life brings.

What I believe about this work
You are not broken
The struggles you're facing are responses to real experiences — not character flaws. My job is to help you understand those responses and find more freedom within them.
The relationship matters most
Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of good outcomes. I take that seriously. Building trust and genuine connection is the foundation of everything we do.
You set the pace
There's no agenda here beyond what you bring. We go as deep as you want to go, as fast as you're ready to go. Healing isn't linear, and I'm not in a hurry.
Outside the office
When I'm not in session, you'll find me hiking with my dog, cooking elaborate meals I found on the internet at midnight, or reading anything I can get my hands on. I believe a therapist who has a full life outside of work is a better therapist — and I try to practice what I preach about rest, connection, and joy.
