Currently accepting new clients! My job as a therapist is to help you explore yourself and decide what you want to do with that information. Life can be challenging and sometimes we find ourselves in somewhat of a cycle wondering 'why does this keep happening?' I invite you to take control of your situation and find the courage to move in a new direction. This journey can lead you to resolution and growth as you incorporate what you learn in therapy to your everyday life.

*****NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS...FORMER CLIENTS AND FIRST RESPONDERS FEEL FREE TO CALL*** Most mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and anger are results of life stressors. You can expect a full assessment and treatment plan at your first session. I truly believe that you have all the answers to your problems and I will help guide you to the solutions. I utilize a trauma-informed care framework to my practice. Sometimes past traumas and losses can impact and/or compound current life stressors, further exploration of past issues can be explored to gain insight, and to explore more advanced coping skills.

Sometimes we know exactly what the change we want is, it seems right in arm's reach, yet, we find ourselves struggling and confused to bridge the gap. My goal is to assist you in identifying the life you want, finding the path, and supporting you while you place your feet on that path. Our emotional struggles, including mental health symptoms, can be very challenging to overcome alone. Let's work together to come up with ways to cope, and ways to excel.

Normal is just a setting on your dryer. If you agree with this, then I'm your guy! I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach. I work collaboratively with individuals to help them achieve the skills and insight they need to successfully navigate through challenges posed by daily stressors, including, but not limited to: relationships, work, school, and physical illness. By providing a holistic approach, I support individuals in achieving their overall health; physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I will respectfully consider your cultural background, religion, and personal beliefs while working together.

What would your life look like if you were safe with your mind, body and spirit? What areas of your life feel disconnected from your true values and authentic self? Are you looking for support and tools while navigating anxiety, depression, self-doubt? The stressors and challenges of life can sometimes leave us feeling unequipped. In the therapeutic relationship, we build a trusting space; getting curious about your beliefs, habits and environment. Why are you stuck? What thoughts, beliefs and relationships are nourishing you? What's blocking you from developing new healthy habits, connecting with loved ones, practicing self care?

Are you struggling with mental health symptoms - anxiety, depression, relationship or family issues, intrusive thoughts, isolation, loneliness, grief or general "stress"? The discomfort may be the result of a short-term situational experience. Or it could be something you have struggled with for years. Counseling or psychotherapy can help you reduce or eliminate the discomfort you are experiencing. Just as people at times experience uncomfortable physical health symptoms, they can also experience uncomfortable mental health symptoms. The good news is, you can regain control over your emotions, your thoughts and your life!

You are capable of feeling happier, more secure, hopeful, confident and less stressed so that you can fully enjoy your life. We know life will be very hard at times due to relationship struggles, grief and loss, work challenges, financial issues and also our world becoming more overwhelming these past few years. When we experience difficult life challenges, we are more likely to feel a spike in our anxiety and may feel sad and unable to find peace. Meeting with a trained therapist who cares about your well-being can help ease these symptoms and offer a place to begin healing.
