Whatever the present condition of our life, we have had an intrinsic role in creating it, whether we see it or not. The good news is that once we have enough awareness to take ownership, we can consciously create what is next. Our greatest ally is self awareness and clarity. My role as a therapist is to help you identify and resolve your obstacles (internal and external) and to help you clarify your life purpose and direction. In an empathic relationship that stresses authenticity, our processes will lead to in depth exploration and releasing.

You might be feeling stuck in your life, discouraged or dissatisfied. This can show up as uncertainty about yourself, feeling anxious or depressed, and having a hard time coping with life’s many challenges. The pain and fears that led you to seek out therapy come out of stories and experiences that shape how you view yourself and the world. I seek to help you connect with your experiences, stories, and emotions to deepen your understanding of your world, build self-trust and acceptance, and find ways to chart a path forward.

Sometimes, we simply need someone to hold space for us, someone to offer a safe, non-judgmental, accepting environment to feel heard and seen. Therapy is a time for just that: a time to explore yourself and to create self-awareness of your cognitions and social systems in ways that impact your feelings and behaviors. Therapy is a journey, a commitment to whole person healing for lasting change. I believe that clients have the power to reclaim their stories, as the experts of their own lives. I am committed to working with you to explore what might be keeping you from living and loving authentically.

** Please Note: I am currently NOT accepting new clients** Are you frustrated and discouraged with the quality of your relationships with others? Do you wish that there were a manual or rule book that came with the people you love? Relationships are the most cherished and yet confounding things that we as humans long to have, and we get very little guidance about how to make and maintain them. Whether you are in a relationship with a friend, lover, spouse, or child, I can help you learn ways to find fulfillment, stability, and joy.

I enjoy working with Individuals & Couples who want to better understand the impact of their past experiences and family of origin, adult children of emotionally immature parents, those dealing with anxiety and/or depression, those considering marriage or children, those struggling to adjust after having a child, those who need help navigating conversations around values, finances, and work; those who want tools to cultivate a relationship of affection, kindness, and mutual respect.

Whether our work is one-on-one, with you two as a couple, my clients gain valuable insights and practical tools to get unstuck and move forward. Imagine leaving each session feeling understood, empowered, and equipped to navigate life with confidence.

As a therapist that works with couples and individuals, with a focus on intimacy and sexuality, I often work with people seeking deeper and more nourishing connections in their relationships and lives. Connection requires the courage to move into vulnerability and honesty to live one's truth about what they really need from their relationships. This is where I can help! I serve as a guide for individuals and couples in stepping into their own lives, to ask for what they need and to be present in and for their relationships.

I provide counseling services that are informed by the contextual backgrounds of your life (i.e. - race, culture, gender, faith, family dynamics, etc.), and adapt the therapeutic process accordingly. Most of my work involves addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and interpersonal conflict with individuals, couples, and families. While also being intentional to deconstruct and challenge the impacts of oppression on the lives of marginalized communities.

I specialize in delivering evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders. The science is clear on what therapy works best for these issues, yet often clients who need it most never access the right type of care. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) treatment is considered the gold standard, and while many providers implement various CBT tools and techniques, they are not incorporated in a structured way as the research indicates. With over a decade of experience and thousands of hours delivering CBT treatments, I have cultivated a profound understanding on how to help folks with these issues.

I work together with my wife, Karin, to help couples who are struggling with conflict, emotional distance, or distress. If you're fighting too much, avoiding important issues altogether, or feeling disconnected from your partner, we can help you learn how to better navigate your differences and experience a deeper, more compassionate connection with each other.

Limited after school times available! My passion is working with adolescents, families and adults who are looking to learn new skills to use in their lives. We'd be a good fit if you're looking for someone who teaches skills and strategies to use when encountering difficulties. Often people will encounter times where they struggle and don't have the skills to manage current stressors or problem. I’m here to offer you support and techniques that have shown to be effective in helping with these problems. Working with me involves learning more about what makes situations difficult (what's the specific problem) and applying new skills.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I enjoy partnering with individuals navigating the challenges of emerging adulthood. This transition can be a daunting experience filled with uncertainty and self-doubt. You may be facing several life transitions with school, career, and relationships. Along the way, issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, low self-esteem, and past trauma may be making these changes more difficult. We will work together to help you by approaching your unique needs and goals through understanding your story, working with your strengths, and building your inner resources to tend to yourself when challenges arise.

Flow is mental health. Feeling stuck is a mental illness. My job is to help you unstuck. Trauma makes you stuck. Your brain creates defense mechanisms based on the traumatic event. Your body remembers the impact. I believe that many problems are rooted in trauma including attachment wounds. I work with anxiety, addiction, identity, unhelpful thought/behavioral patterns, cultural transition, and spiritual abuse through the lens of trauma. I attend to your body closely in the session for metabolizing your stuck feelings and thoughts. Body-mind integration brings mental health where allows a flow.

As a therapist, I believe that my work is to help others locate the strength, courage, self-compassion, and tools to create the life they want. Pleasure is a vital part of our human experience, and I am interested in how identity, cultural background, history, trauma, gender, identity, ability, and relationships help us experience it in a way that feels profoundly personal, empowering, and connected to others. I am offering sliding scale therapy as a commitment to serving clients of all socioeconomic statuses.

My passion in counseling is create a relationship built on safety, trust, and hope, where people feel accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. I consider it a privilege to be able to walk with someone through their fears, challenges, and hurts, and help them experiencing healing and restoration. For this reason, I see counseling as an opportunity to help people diminish pain and suffering, cope with the challenges of life (both normal and extraordinary), and experience increased joy, purpose, and self-acceptance.
