You deserve to feel seen and heard and validated for your experience. You are stronger than you believe and have everything you need within you already. Sometimes we all just need some help unlocking our strengths within. Through a safe and secure therapeutic relationship, I believe it is possible to heal from trauma and no longer just survive, but actually thrive. My passion for empowering others to heal from their trauma is inspired by my own lifelong healing journey and soul's purpose of healing my trauma so that I can assist others by empowering them to heal theirs.

There is so much hope for you to emerge from the cage that is trauma. My passion lies in supporting adults and couples in getting unstuck from childhood trauma. Maybe you suspect that trauma is at the root of your stuckness, listen to the podcasts, understand the difficulty in your family growing up, but still feel like a shell of a human and like you just keep surviving. Maybe you feel like work is the only good part of life. Or maybe you are discouraged after years in EMDR therapy/ therapy, but feeling like life is still getting further away from the adventurous, creative, spiritual, full life you long for. There is so much hope.

Perhaps, you grew up in a family or culture where your thoughts, emotions, or body were rejected. To be accepted in this world and find a place of "belonging; you ended up abandoning yourself in the process. Many of my clients come to me because they are seeking to find themselves again and reclaim their needs and desires.

My ideal clients come into my office hoping to explore and better understand themselves and others, foster healthy and happy relationships, shift ineffective behavioral and relational patterns, and work towards a life that they consider fulfilled and worth living. Let’s focus on symptom reduction and personal growth. Change can be terrifying and at times feel impossible. Our work will be exploring and attending to how to best balance safety and risk to reach your personal goals. Change, which can be joyful and exciting, often also comes with loss and pain. Let’s work together to understand what that balance looks like for you.

You're having a hard time making decisions related to a relationship, career, or life. You're trying to do everything “right” to try to make other people happy and running away from what it is that you want. You constantly feel guilt and fear & it's preventing you from living a more free & full life. I specialize in working with women to bring awareness to how you are genuinely feeling, in your mind and body, to help discover and set boundaries around what you truly want for yourself without worrying about other people’s expectations or needs. I believe that we are all deserving of discovering our truths, purpose, and direction.

As a long time therapist, I know that it usually takes a lot of courage to reach out for help & it can feel so vulnerable to take this first step. I honor this stepping out of your comfort zone into the unfamiliar, so I create felt safety & a close therapeutic connection from the get go. I bring compassion into all my sessions, valuing the client's pace and sense of security as highly as I value my knowledge and experience. It is my belief that it is only in this balance that therapeutic healing can occur.

I address a range of concerns with clients including depression, anxiety, relationships, addiction and trauma. I believe that therapy offers the unique opportunity to work on your relationship with yourself, which consequently improves your relationships with others. I guide clients towards a deeper self-awareness and greater emotional resiliency. In my work, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion and taking a mindful stance towards your thoughts and emotions. When we are able to approach our internal life with curiosity and compassion, life is much easier to navigate, and strong emotion states won't overwhelm us.

I am a strengths based therapist. I am interested in working with clients who are able to set their own agenda and goals. I am pragmatic, it is important for clients to be able to function in the here and now, therefore our work will aid you with how you are living your life today.

Schedule through my website link in my bio today! Before his own private practice, Tim provided mental health and addiction counseling to individuals and groups. Most of his time was spent serving forensic clients, who were state-mandated to inpatient rehabilitation for a history of felony convictions and serious drug use. Many of them had dual diagnoses, meaning they had mental health issues coinciding with their substance use disorders (which is often the case). Tim relied heavily on various counseling theories including Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. He became trained in EMDR.

I am a non-binary, queer, neurodivergent, white, parent, educator and activist. All of these identities inform my approach as well as my experience in the world. I conceptualize my role in therapy as a thought partner and story mapper. I work with clients to explore narratives and experiences, and note behavioral patterns with the aim of making the unconscious conscious. In addition to my role as a therapist I am a writer and passionate advocate for inclusivity within businesses and communities.
