Looking for a therapist who will sit and stare at you until you start talking? Appreciate a therapist who starts out each session with, “So, what do you want to talk about today?” while providing zero direction? Yeah, me neither. I value being the kind of therapist I’d want as a client navigating what can sometimes feel like a raging dumpster fire. You may be dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, burnout, perfectionism, life transitions, relationship issues, stress management concerns, low self esteem, or spiritual / religious transition, deconstruction and reclamation.

Through life’s transitions such as school or workplace stress, to relationship and family conflicts life is full of challenges that are sometimes out of our control. The pressure to manage and cope with these stressors can severely impact or be detrimental to ones mental health. Clients experiencing depression can make daily life activities seem unbearable, and it can significantly change how we see things almost as if wearing gloomy specs and disconnected from our environments.

Do you feel stuck in the past? Have you tried everything else to find the healing you desperately desire but haven't gotten the results you need? Clients reach out to me many of them at a point close to giving up and thinking their brain, situation or circumstance will never change. It doesn't have to be this way. I incorporate many different techniques and tools to help get my clients on the path to healing and wholeness. Talk therapy just doesn't work. I do not offer talk therapy. Instead I customize a plan with my client, meeting them where they are, based on their individual needs.

I am an Anxiety, OCD and Trauma specialist. When clients come to work with me they are often struggling with fear of the unknown, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, behavioral and mental compulsions, negative intrusive thoughts and other such patterns that are taking them deeper into the fear spiral. In therapy, I support my clients in developing a kinder relationship with themselves while becoming more conscious of the negative coping patterns that are holding them in cycles of pain. We work on shifting this while also developing the positive coping skills needed to move towards a healthier, freer and more joyful life.

Are you struggling to tell others how you're feeling? Do you keep putting your head down, delving into hard work, only to look up and feel an isolating sadness? And even though you know (in theory) that it’s okay not to be okay, and that it’s okay to ask for help, you just can’t seem to do it for yourself? I also was taught that it was my responsibility, and mine alone, to make myself feel better. But the hard truth is that while it takes strength to push through on your own, it also takes a special kind of strength to accept help.

Feeling anxious or depressed? Maybe not sure exactly why? I work with clients facing a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, and trauma. I have a 2-pronged approach. I first work with my clients in identifying sufficient calming and coping mechanisms to deal with the here and the now. The next step is to map out the core issues that are causing the presenting concerns, and create a plan in healing them from the source. I have treated many clients who have been in therapy for years without actually tackling the root of the problem.
