I understand that the process of therapy can be overwhelming. I applaud you for the first active steps you are taking to seek support. I encourage you to find a therapist that you connect with. The therapeutic rapport is extremely valuable and an instrumental part of healing and growing. It is your choice who you want to share your story with. I have been providing therapeutic support for adults, youth, couples and families for the past 16 years. I hope through meaningful conversations to engage my clients in authentic dialogue that encourages change, reinforces strengths, and helps foster new awareness.

I am a licensed professional counselor and have been in practice for 13 years. I use evidenced based practices to address trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship challenges. Most unhealthy coping behaviors were survival skills. These skills were beneficial but now interfere with joy and connection. There is relief in exploring outdated coping strategies and replacing with current strategies that facilitate authenticity, closeness, and peace. You can request a new client consultation from my website.

As far back as I can remember, I have been interested in relationship building, healing, and the exquisite complexity of the human mind. I’ve endeavored to understand the roots of suffering and I’ve searched extensively–reading countless books, inquiring with experienced teachers, and attending a variety of trainings–for the tools to help people find their way out of life’s darkness, and into peace and aliveness.

You are bright, sensitive, and insightful but either feel like you’re stuck on ON (easily startled, racing thoughts that are difficult to control or turn off, struggling to relax and feeling flooded emotionally), or stuck on OFF (flat, lethargic, exhausted, foggy, unmotivated and disconnected from your vitality and energy). You may have even spent years in talk therapy, gained a lot of insight but have hit a plateau and may be wondering if you’re not meant to fully heal or if therapy actually works. It is possible to deeply heal - you just need an approach that supports your life's history and how it's stored in your body.

My passion has always been working with wounded hearts, helping those in broken and what seem like hopeless situations find light and meaning for their lives. I believe that trauma plays a major role in how we perceive the world and can greatly influence our choices and relationships. I have a passion for working with couples and believe that every marriage can be strengthened and thrive. I take a grace-filled, non-judgmental, collaborative approach to therapy and believe that every person, no matter their situation, can find healing and hope in the midst of their circumstances and I consider it a honor to walk alongside of you.

My life journey has profoundly influenced my dedication to empowering individuals on their path to personal growth and fulfillment. I am committed to working collaboratively with people, assisting them in realizing their full potential and facilitating transformative experiences. Often, our lives are marked by patterns rooted in shame and trauma, hindering our ability to embrace authenticity and joy. Unbeknownst to us, we may be navigating the world with a wounded heart. However, recognizing this reality opens the door to hope.

Accepting new clients as of July 2024. I work with individuals struggling with a variety of issues such as relational difficulties, emotional instability and trauma. My goal is to work holistically and collaboratively with you to move towards a place of healing and well-being.

I have worked for over 30 years as a psychotherapist in the public and private sector serving clients of all ethnicities, cultures, spirituality, and sexual identities. My specializations include Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Identity, Parenting, Couples, Grief, and Bereavement as well as issues stemming from the trauma experience. I have successfully worked with both male and female survivors of sexual assault.

Feeling down, anxious, stuck or confused? Our world is in turmoil and it can be tough to create a sense of wellbeing through these challenging times. As a licensed psychotherapist and strategic agent of change, I'm here to walk with you through rough waters and uncover methods to grow beyond the challenges present in our modern times. By offering new perspectives to these challenges, I seek to become your personal guide to find fresh insights and healing. With a mix of humor and a whole-lot of empathy and understanding, I’m here to help you overcome obstacles that stand in the way of living your best life.

Do you feel overwhelmed by feelings, thoughts, or a sense of being lost in life? You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma manifesting as relationship distress, identity crises, or lack of motivation. My clients seek a guide to uncover the root of their symptoms and find their authentic selves. I help clients go beyond traditional talk therapy, focusing on the mind-body connection through somatic therapies, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems, while teaching the neuroscience of trauma. Specializing in attachment, I aim to help you reorganize your relationships—to others, yourself, and your past.

Coming into a civilization that values separation and individualistic ways I became enlightened by the deep rooted connection and harmony the mind, body, and soul were craving. The suppression of our innate human parts has created exhaustion and burnout that instills conditioning of shame, guilt and fear. My mission is to provide a meaningful safe space to shed these burdens brought on by unrealistic standards of society, family, and our institutions and connect with the healing allies of the earth to remember how to be in alignment with our full embodied selves.

Thank you for being here! You have taken the first steps toward a different way of living. Your action to move toward healing is already a sign that you are and yet we all need support from time to time. Chronic stress and/or traumatic experiences often debilitate our intuitive nature and create a disconnection from our embodied, true self. My hope is that we can collaboratively create within you an internal environment of security, possibility and ease.

Please visit my website to get more information and to contact me. I see adults in individual or couples therapy, and specialize in treating depression, anxiety, life transitions, couple dynamics, and sexual difficulties. I view wellness holistically, so we'll be mindful of the physical, emotional, spiritual & cognitive aspects of your health in our work together. My approach to psychotherapy is multi-faceted, so we may work at different levels in the same session, shifting our focus as needed between formative relationships, current relationships, thoughts and actions-- and back again-- as needed.

Sex. Intimacy. Pleasure. — These topics feel intimidating and vulnerable to talk about. You’ve googled how to have better sex. You are feeling discouraged about your sex life and wondering if there's more to explore. Maybe you can’t even think about sex without feeling uncomfortable, much less talk about it. You want to feel confident in yourself, reconnect with your partner, and heal from the past. You think you are ready to open up, get curious about yourself, and tell your story. Now what? Let's see if we are a good fit!

Hi, I’m Kevin. Whether it is your first time to counseling, or your a seasoned veteran, starting the process can be tough. My goal is to make it as easy as possible by building trust together, letting you lead the process, helping you know what to expect, and being warm and candid. I have experience working with people throughout their lifespan. Specifically, I am passionate about supporting adolescents and young adults in high school and college, men and women struggling with trauma, depression, grief, and anxiety, and folks in the outdoor industry.

If you've found yourself here, then I imagine you are looking for support to make a change in your life. It can be so challenging when you are shifting through all of these profiles to understand who can help you and how. It is true, there is not one counselor that is a great fit for each person. However, with over 12 years of therapist experience, I have seen that therapy REALLY works! I have also noticed that underneath a lot of anxiety, depression, eating disorders and relationship concerns is trauma. I specialize in working with trauma using EMDR. I help people move from a life of pain to one where they experience thriving.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist committed to helping individuals and families navigate difficult life experiences and to lead happier, healthier lives. My work focuses on assisting adolescents, college students, young adults, adults, and families. Who experience mental health concerns, difficulty with substance abuse, and issues stemming from personal or intergenerational trauma.

I teach people how to build a strong sense of Self and use that powerful foundation to create the life they desire. To make it in this world, you may have invested in “being normal” or just "surviving" and, in that process, forgotten who you truly are. Many people who identify as highly sensitive, or neurodiverse find themselves in this situation, as well as people who have experienced trauma or significant change. Reconnecting with your authentic self allows you to: experience increased success & abundance, cultivate closer relationships, undam your creativity, and build resilience.

I understand that beginning therapy can be overwhelming and I take pride on my unique ability to connect and build a therapeutic relationship with my clients. I believe that finding the “right fit” of therapists is one of the most important factors in the therapeutic process. I specialize in working with teenagers (and their families) who are struggling with Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem/self worth, impulsivity, rebellious/defiant behaviors, poor family relationships, self harm, and negative peer relationships. I have a reputation for being able to connect with even the most challenging or guarded youth in our community.
