Asking for help and seeking treatment can be difficult for many! You're longing to feel more understood, less isolated, and more at home in your body and self. Maybe society has forced you to internalize messages such as "Get over it," “Don’t be so sensitive,” and "you shouldn't feel this way." There is enough space for ALL of your feelings and experiences here; all parts of you are welcome. You are worthy of care and compassion. My goal is never to convince you or change you- after all, you hold the most wisdom and knowledge about your body and what has happened in your life.

Additionally, I enjoy providing therapy and consultation to therapists with similar interests.

For the last 10 years I have specialized in working with boys, teenagers, men, women, and families. If this is you, it is my goal to help you overcome the barriers and problems in your life that are keeping you from experiencing the freedom you are desiring. Most often, these problems are the result of unresolved trauma and wounding from childhood. Perhaps you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, sexual abuse, addiction (sexual, drug/alcohol, work), lack of self confidence, family issues, relationship difficulties, negative coping habits, physical or auto-immune disorders, or more. If so, I can help.

That idea you have in your head about what therapy is and that picture of what a therapist is supposed to be-yeah THAT one-it isn’t like that here. If you've tried therapy before and HATED it, if you're ready to make moves in your life, ready to get real and own your shit, or if you need a safe space to dump with a REAL person that doesn’t give a shit what it is you did or think you did, let me introduce myself. I prefer to see adults but I will make exceptions for adolescents age 16 and over, provided they pass the vibe check. We do real talk here and nothing less-unadulterated authenticity and I will not cosign your bullshit.

Are you someone who feels like you're drowning in responsibilities but struggles to reach out? When you're overwhelmed, it's like your thoughts become a tangled mess. You might worry about what others will say if they know you're struggling. There's this fear of burdening others or being judged for needing help. These thoughts echo loudly, reinforcing feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. It's tough to break free from these thoughts and patterns, especially when seeking help feels like admitting defeat.
