Ferris Bueller said: “Life is pretty short. If you don’t stop to look around, you may miss it.” Of course, life’s brevity may evoke anxiety. Or maybe you’re repeating thoughts and behaviors that make it hard to enjoy life or connect with people. Depression. Anxiety. Shame. Insomnia. You deserve contentment now. I help folks (mostly men) regulate their emotions so they grow beyond life’s transitions, be it relationships, work or grief, which isn't just the loss of a loved one; grief can also be the loss of a life you expected.

Okay, so I'm thinking if you're here looking for a therapist, maybe you feel like your life has become a complete shit show. Or maybe you're just so sick and tired of the same old, same old, but you don't know how to stop or change it. Or maybe you feel frozen in time by the trauma you experienced in your life. Maybe you feel so stuck that any sort of hopeful, positive, and rewarding future is completely out of your reach. OR maybe it's something else like the inability to manage your emotions, or stop using, or push past the storm or grief.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20+ years experience working with individuals and families. Issues addressed include trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, relationship issues, self-esteem, grief and old patterns of behavior that negatively affect my clients' well being. I believe it is important to provide a safe and supportive space for my clients to experience healing and personal growth.

If you’re reading this, I imagine you might be feeling tense, stuck, lonely, ashamed, worried, sad, anxious, or any other number of feelings. Or maybe you just feel numb or not sure what you’re feeling anymore. That’s okay. All of you is welcome here. I work with adults of all ages, and I see some teens as well. I enjoy working with those in the LGBTQIA+ community, especially those who are gender expansive, because I am queer and genderfluid myself. I also have experience working with neurodiverse people; those who are struggling with anxiety or grief; and those who are going through personal, spiritual, and relational transitions.

You are perhaps feeling disconnected from yourself and others. I can help you to "zoom in" and "zoom out" to better investigate what's happening, what is important to you, and to help you to shift towards your authentic self. My passion in this work comes from guiding individuals toward life goals, healing, growth, and discovery within. I combine various modalities tailored to address blockages and increase momentum in your life. Perhaps you are not yet on your own timeline or feel like you are living someone else's life.

Life can and will throw many different things at us. These things can present in the form of stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, loss and anger. Everyday events can mentally put us in a place where we feel vulnerable. I want to help my clients not just cope but learn to move forward and grow strength. As individuals we each have our own unique perspective on the world, using colored lenses to define/understand the things unfolding in front of us. I want to work with you on focusing your lenses on the way you view yourself & your world. Together we can identify how your experiences have give you both positive & negative coloring.

I chose to enter the counseling field as a teen after I saw a counselor myself. My experience opened me up to learning to cope with things in a way that I had never learned. I was so changed by this process that I decided I wanted to give others what had been given to me.

There are as many different ways of being stuck as there are human beings. For some people, being stuck looks like underachieving, staying trapped in comfortable but unfulfilling lives. For others, it looks like staying in romantic, platonic, or professional relationships that encourage staying the same rather than growing. Or, you might be overwhelmed by mental, emotional, or existential pain that makes growth and change feel utterly impossible. At any age, and at any phase of life, we can find ourselves stuck in habits, patterns, behaviors, or relationships that we know no longer serve us.

Hello and welcome! One thing that sets me apart from other therapists is my warm, friendly personality and the radical acceptance and love I have for my clients. Many clients report they're surprised at how easy it is to open up to me. Perhaps this is because I value you as a person and your inner wisdom above my own expertise. In therapy, I like to think of us as a team, working together to uncover parts of yourself you may have hidden away, discovering patterns that may have served you in the past but now hold you back, and trying out new ways of relating to strong emotions or showing up in the world. We're in this together.

The best way to determine if I can help you, your child, or your young adult is to pick up the phone and share your story. This can be intimidating, which is why I offer a free initial consultation to see if I am the right person to help.

We humans are wired for contact and connection. Yet sometimes we don't know how to develop the needed connections; relationship building and managing one’s life effectively can thus be both terrifying and exhilarating . Lack of healthy support and resultant traumas leave us depressed, anxious, isolated, or insecure, leading to addictions, obsessions and compulsions, poor communication, relationship difficulties, or general dis-ease in one’s life. Yet healing is possible, and finding a therapist with whom you resonate is crucial.

I am casual and tattooed, and that tends to work for most people... even if it's vastly different from how people picture a typical 'therapist'. I feel very privileged to work with members of the LGBTQ+ community and believe I offer a unique perspective as a trans man (that also happens to be a therapist). I really enjoy providing support to folks while they explore components of their authentic identities. I am comfortable working with folks that identify with being poly and/or kinky (No shaming here!).

You're not eating. You can't stop checking your phone. You drunk dialed him at 3am and regret it horribly-or maybe you don't. Your friends are so tired of hearing you talk about your ex. But you can't help it! You aren't sleeping or you're sleeping too much. School or work is suffering. People keep saying "You should be over this by now," yet you find yourself with the covers over your head, dreading to face the day. You'll hear me call this "Survival Mode."
