Are you experiencing issues with sexual desire, functioning, or orgasm that are related to your disability, injury, or chronic illness? I work with individuals struggling with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, and past trauma. I understand the significance of past experiences and how they make an impact on the present. I'm committed to creating a flexible and inclusive environment where you feel empowered to explore new concepts and challenge yourself. I have experience working with individuals in atypical relationship structures such as open or polyam.

Hello, I'm Anthony. Meaning and certainty are hard to practice when you're struggling to get through the week. My experiences as a therapist involved helping people experiencing, anxiety, depression, life transitions, psychosis, and interpersonal difficulties; and if any of those apply to you, I would like to help you or someone you care about find some relief. My process is collaborative and open, meaning you set the pace as we learn how to reshape thoughts, learn new skills, and celebrate your best. I love learning about my clients and figuring out how we can use our therapy time to help you get to where you want to be in life.

Everybody has issues in their life and could use a helpful someone to talk to. Sometimes our struggles go beyond the help of a friend or family member. It takes courage to reach out and I do not take that lightly. Primarily using CBT (cognitive-behavioral) and CCT (client-centered) therapies I help you navigate life's challenges. I let the session happen naturally and you get to talk about whatever is on your mind. You will never have to go anywhere you are not ready to go. I am here to walk beside you in your journey.

You deserve to feel seen. Many of the people I have worked with have experienced pain or the weight of high expectations from themselves and others around them. Witnessing others experience the transformative power of their authentic selves and overcome challenges has been a privilege. I practice from a lens of radical empathy: I am honored to hold space for you as you work through things that feel heavy, cheer you on when it begins to feel easy again, and walk with you for all the moments in between.

Finding a therapist can sometimes feel impossible, but finding a good fit can make all the difference. It is important to both feel heard and seen, especially during the vulnerable process of sharing you experiences and emotions. I provide a non-judgmental space with a emphasis on holistic and person-centered care. Which means you can expect a collaborative experience. I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma, may be struggling with PTSD, anxiety, and or depression. I also provide an affirming and queer/trans competent space to serve members of the trans and queer community.

There is hope even when your brain tells you there isn't.

To aid in your recovery, I offer empathy and a space free of judgment. Together, we'll explore barriers to inner peace and happiness. We'll work at your level of comfort to alleviate your suffering and symptoms and to improve the quality of your life and increase a sense of empowerment that will help you sustain the life you want and deserve.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.
