Any of these thoughts sound familiar? What if I harm someone? What if I harm myself? What if I act on an urge to do something I really don’t want to do? What if I am a bad person and just fooling everyone? What if I touched something that could contaminate me or my family? What if I want to act on that sexual thought I really didn’t like? What if I go to jail for something I did but forgot or didn't know? What if that thing I did will come back to haunt me? What if I cheat on my partner? What if I am with the 'wrong' partner even though I love my partner? What if my sexual orientation will change even though I don't want it to?

If we are better able to understand who we are and why we engage in the behaviors we do, we are able to make changes in our lives. My job is to offer a supportive environment, in which you feel safe to explore who you are.

You feel overwhelmed by the critical voice and racing thoughts in your mind. It feels nearly impossible to trust yourself, and you find yourself looking to anyone else to tell you “what to do.” This leaves you exhausted and feeling even more lost, confused, anxious, and depressed. You want to feel grounded, confident, and independent to have more space, energy, and motivation to be present and achieve your goals. If any of this resonates with you we may be a good fit to work together. I especially enjoy supporting individuals navigating codependent behaviors and enmeshed family systems.

Hello there, I'm Henry. Life is a journey that will have to take in life. We set goals for ourselves to reach but such as in life things get in the way. I have had made several courses changes in my journey to land me where I am today. In all honesty, it was not a pleasant journey but from that experience, I grew as a person and as a therapist.

Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, sad, or alone? Are the waves of life crashing around you? If you or your loved ones are drowning in the suffering caused by heartache, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, or trauma, look no further. You are not alone and there is hope! Desperation and suffering brought me to the point of reaching out for help many years ago and soon the seas began to calm. As life came into balance and my spirit began to heal, guiding others out of the storm into peaceful waters became my mission.

I am passionate about the therapeutic process and believe the key to successful therapy is the development of a strong, therapeutic relationship. By using proven treatment methods, together we will explore self-defeating thinking patterns and unhealthy behaviors, which may have blocked the path to becoming who you were meant to be.
