One struggle we all face is finding someone we feel safe and comfortable confiding in. Someone who listens attentively and responds empathetically. My intention is to be that someone for my clients. Growing up in a blended family impacted my perspective of how families operate and overcome obstacles. As a Navy veteran and proud father I lend my education, life experience, and expertise in Narrative and Collaborative therapy. I assist by co-facilitating with clients their exploration of past experiences and perspectives to discover self assuring stories and inner strength.

Life can present us with unexpected and difficult challenges. My mission is to aid you in processing through those challenges, as you evolve into a better version of yourself. Therapy is a journey where you can gain further insight into yourself, your wants/needs and regain control over the narrative of your life.

This is "CARING not "Counseling". I don't "provide care", or "give care". I just CARE about you. My name is Dr. Wes, and I'm an Epistemologist. I study how we know and I am fascinated with the conversations we have with our "self". How those conversations shape our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions. My clients are more like friends than clients. We explore how to reach a "good life" and "how to know when we have it", together. So I don't counsel them I care for them. I'd love to ask you what is your good life, are you a moment person or a next moment person, how do you define joy, what's your truth and more. Let's Talk

I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist, a Licensed Masters Addiction Counselor, and a Certified Grief Informed professional. I have experience working with diverse individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I also help people who may be facing other psychological difficulties such as grief / loss, addiction, and phase of life or adjustment issues (e.g. divorce, launching of children, empty nest, retirement, etc.). I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a default, but I'm willing to adjust to the client's needs and preferences.

I enjoy working with clients ages 2+, from all backgrounds, focusing on children, teens who are opposed to mental health treatment (as well as the agreeable ones), and families. Some of the diagnoses I work with are Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, PTSD, Bipolar Disorders, ADHD, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I am comfortable working with talkative clients, clients who are reserved and withdrawn, and those who do not talk much at all. Whether you are ready to get to the nitty gritty immediately, or need time to get comfortable, I welcome the opportunity to partner with you on your mental health journey.
