Are you at a crossroads? Throughout life, we experience "little deaths" that change our life’s course. Loss of a dream, health, family, the earth we stand on, job, marriage, relationship, country or beliefs can suddenly take us over a threshold, chosen or not into a new world where life no longer makes any sense. Our old tools and ways of coping or understanding our self or our world are no longer enough to pilot us to the other side of what can feel like a vast, deep and turbulent river. While often terrifying, these are the golden opportunities in which our true nature, our soul or purpose in life can be revealed.

I work with people who are experiencing challenges around anxiety, depression, sex, intimacy, and trauma. I am particularly drawn to clients who are committed to personal growth and want to deepen their experience of life. I truly believe that we all have the capacity to lead fuller lives with more ease and a greater sense of safety. I have been a social worker for more than 20 years and live in Seattle with my family. I identify as gay, white and cis-male and enjoy working with couples, including those in open and poly relationships.

Are you at a moment in your life when you realize that it might be helpful to discuss your current life situation with someone who could help guide you out of a stuck or confused place? People often feel overwhelmed, depressed or anxious when they deal with transitions in life - a change in work, health or relationships.

I believe that every person has the right to be treated with individual care. Because we are all unique, what works for one person may not work for the next. I like to approach helping you with a fresh lens every time, getting to know you, and finding which therapeutic approach to best help your situation. Building a relationship of trust and openness is the most important part to therapy, as well as creating an atmosphere where you feel safe and secure in your journey. Maybe you’ve done this before, and maybe this is your first time in therapy; I want to find what works best for you.

You may be experiencing a great loss, or even many losses from the pandemic, or feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve your growth. You may be experiencing pain or conflict in relationships, anxiety at work, stress from trying to “balance it all”, or residual pain from the past. There may be a sense of increased collective grief and eco-anxiety. The discomfort brings us back into conversation with ourselves- all the parts. From here we begin the process of healing and meaning making, to come to inhabit your life in a more embodied, present, and clear way.

I believe therapy offers a profound opportunity for growth and change. I'll be curious about your experience, and we'll pay attention to what feels most important to you as we talk together about your thoughts and feelings. Through this process you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself. You'll also come to better know your own strengths and resiliency. I am warm, thoughtful, and engaging in my approach and believe that a safe and supportive therapy relationship is essential in easing feelings of discomfort that normally accompany change.

We all experience times in our lives where we encounter hardship, confusion and sadness. During these times we may feel stuck or overwhelmed, linger in negative patterns and question the bigger meaning of our lives. Additionally, growing up and in this increasingly hectic world requires each of us to adopt certain coping strategies that may no longer be serving us; from limiting beliefs about ourselves and our potential to outdated messages that may have clouded our internal vision. Learning new ways to understand ourselves by getting in touch with our deeper parts and feelings can offer new pathways toward healing and growth.

Loneliness and isolation are difficult to work through on our own. We may feel overwhelmed by depression and anxiety and have difficulty finding meaning. We can feel chased by persistent feelings of dissatisfaction, grief, or loss, and question our self-worth. It may feel increasingly difficult to "hold it together" for others. Even though we need help, we may feel skeptical about whether therapy is for us.

The fact that you're looking for a counselor means you're ready to start making some changes for the better. I counsel adult individuals who are dealing with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to fears and counterproductive behaviors. Processing past traumatic experiences are always waiting for processing and meaning-making. If you're faced with grief and loss or other life changes, or struggles with relationships, I'm here to help you find the way forward. I want you to know there is hope. I utilize various approaches for healing, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
