“I feel like I spend more time avoiding conflict than saying what I truly feel.” “I’m surviving instead of thriving." “I feel like difficult experiences in my past are holding me back.” “I’m under so much pressure, I can't take it anymore." It doesn't have to stay this way! I want to help you create balance, authenticity, and joy in your life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, fear, grief, or depression? Have you experienced trauma that leaves you feeling stuck? I work with teens and adults who find themselves using unhelpful patterns of coping with their trauma and emotions, often feel disconnected or scattered, and struggle to be present with others. Some may even experience physical or somatic symptoms of their trauma that feel outside of their control. My role is to help you gain insight into why you’re feeling this way and to guide you as you develop the skills you need to move forward. Healing is possible; there is hope for your life.

My role as a therapist is to help my clients peel back the layers of what is occurring in their life and help them work towards achieving their goals. Counseling helps us understand more effective ways to communicate, how to relate to the world around us, and how to give life a sense of meaning. It helps us identify areas that may be holding us back from our best self. I would like to learn more about how we can work through life's challenges together.

You might be overwhelmed by the challenges associated with ADHD and Executive Functioning. Perhaps you're trying to overcome career or academic hurdles, better manage your time, or find a sense of order in your day-to-day life. You have goals and aspirations but struggle to follow through. You want to build consistent routines and achieve more. What might seem like challenges now are in fact, opportunities to grow. I understand that you're seeking a more satisfying life where you can fully harness and celebrate your unique way of learning and thinking. I'm here to help guide and support you in that journey.

“I can’t stop worrying about everything.” “Everyone leaves me.” “I need to make a change, but I feel stuck.” “No one understands what I’m going through.” I see you, and I am so glad that you're here. Life doesn't stop for us, even amid our greatest struggles. The difficult seasons may feel all-encompassing—and I believe therapy should be a space where you can take the time you need to process, explore, grow, and heal. This is your time—I'm here to listen to your story and illuminate the strengths within as we work toward your unique goals.

I approach a client's concerns from a here and now, rapid change perspective. I believe that when we take action to improve ourselves or our circumstances, our attitude and feelings follow suit. I have been in clinical practice for 20 years, and have worked with many types of people and almost every kind of problem. I strive to balance empathy and sensitivity with helping people to move forward in the change process.

You are finally ready to discuss what’s been bothering you, whether that be trauma or other events that may have contributed to your personal feelings and experiences. I am here to support you through this journey.

If you're reading this I want to encourage you to keep the momentum! Reaching out to a therapist is one of the most difficult and hopeful things you can do and it’s worth it!

My approach incorporates a spiritual orientation; this is due to working with people who are in recovery, and my own journey. Spiritual based psychotherapy is not about religion, but about accessing the Power that surrounds us, the power of Love. I am an active, engaging therapist with a sense of humor, it’s good to laugh.

Shame and love are grounded in vulnerability and tenderness (Brene Brown, 2012). Every person deserves validation, empathy, and compassion free from judgment.

If you've ever felt misunderstood, invalidated, or rejected because of who you are or the struggles you face, know that you're not alone. It’s my goal to provide a space where all are welcome as they are and honored in their journey toward wellness. As a queer man, I'm especially passionate about serving LGBTQ+ communities and have experience providing affirmative therapy and WPATH-adherent letters of support for gender-affirming procedures.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one built on trust, empathy, and an understanding of the clients goals. Everyone has the power within themselves to discover and become the person they are truly meant to be. I gravitate toward a person-centered existential-humanistic approach. I work with my clients to help them reconnect with their most authentic self, find balance in their lives, and discover their higher purpose and calling.
