“Change occurs when one becomes what they are, not when they try to become what they are not." It is my most humble intention to make sure my clients feel they can bring all parts and intersections of their identity into therapy and be greeted free from judgment, with deep care and full acceptance. This is where I feel healing and transformation begin. I see therapy both as being a space for short term problem solving - organizing your thoughts and intentions around a pressing issue or life stressor; and/or a space where healing old wounds and profound growth and transformation is possible.

Do you struggle with anxiety that has not responded to traditional approaches to treatment? After an assessment of symptoms and brain wave patterns, I work to help clients retrain their nervous system and develop psychological flexibility. I use a variety of methods, including meditation practices, technology-based interventions such as neurofeedback, stroboscopic light, and vibroacoustic therapies, and ketamine-assisted therapy. I provide a supportive and collaborative creative process to empower you.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck despite your best intentions? Do you criticize yourself, engage in self-defeating behaviors, or find yourself nursing old wounds despite a desire for personal growth and greater happiness? I can assist you to tap into your own natural capacity for healing and thriving. I have over twenty years of experience. I work with a variety of issues, including: anxiety, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, addiction and other self-harming habits, trauma, dissociation, grief, life transitions and concerns related to physical health / pain, school, work, gender identification, spirituality/purpose, and family of origin.

Accepting new clients! My personal philosophy is that through human connection, we can foster the motivation needed to take brave steps toward seeing an old pattern through a new perspective to create positive change. Therapy serves as a road map, illuminating the path so the client can make conscious choices. My attitude is one of respect and acceptance of each client's self-image and world-view allowing for the creation of a safe, therapeutic container.

I believe that we are already whole, and our innate wisdom is best accessed when we feel safe to be seen, share and reflect.

Human connection is the first constant in any therapeutic change. Therefore, my work is aimed at first creating a collaborative process focused on building a therapeutic relationship with the shared goals of achieving your vision for a meaningful life. It is my job to work with you to build on your considerable strengths and assets to create new ways of coping and growing. Often, traumatic experiences and difficulties have left us struggling to realize that vision. We will explore the effects that experiences have on your life today, and work toward a present and future that keeps

I have been involved in research, assessment and treatment of AD/HD for the past 25 years. Individuals with AD/HD usually experience difficulty with focus and concentration. However, they also experience difficulties with procrastination, time management, planning, organizing, and completing projects at home, work and/or in school. There may also be difficulties with delaying gratification, impulse control, memory, and feelings of restlessness. These symptoms impact work, school, friendships, family, intimate relationships, and overall quality of life. An accurate assessment of AD/HD is an important step toward getting help.

“Why does he do that? He’s so mean sometimes. No matter how hard I try, our relationship keeps getting worse! I’m doing everything I can, and it seems like he does nothing at all. I wish he would stop drinking. I wish he would come home at night… Sometimes I wish he would stay away forever.” If you’ve ever had any of these thoughts, you are not alone. A little less than half of all marriages end within a few years, and it’s usually because of stories like this. You’ve tried to avoid that fate on your own. Now you’re desperate enough to try therapy, and you're wondering “What can this guy do?" Well, together, we'll do a lot!

Sometimes our thoughts, our feelings, and our circumstance can be hard to put together. When we try to connect with others, or we have no one to connect with, we’re left feeling misunderstood and lost. A memory that we have a hard time letting go of, a loss of energy, seemingly with no explanation behind it. Trauma, grief, loss. These burdens can build up over time. Having a partner as we journey through and process these experiences can be invaluable in finding peace within ourselves and our story.

My practice is built around providing individual therapy and EEG Neurofeedback to adults and adolescents. I believe that therapy can be tremendously beneficial in many ways, but particularly in offering an opportunity to look at life experiences and difficulties within an environment that emphasizes a strong, appropriate, and trusting relationship between client and therapist. I provide psychological assessment of difficult to treat cases for diagnostic clarification to ensure the treatment provided adequately target the issues presented.

As a therapist and a person, I value authenticity over “perfection,” and I value honest conflict over dishonest harmony. For this reason, I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are interested in uncovering their truth. There are so many reasons why people may lose connection to themselves, their own needs, goals, and strengths. Whether that is due to mental illness, addiction, codependency, trauma, abuse, grief, chronic pain, conflicting societal pressures or rules, something else or all of the above, there is a way to work through it. You are not alone, and you are capable of the change you seek.

I am currently accepting new clients (Updated July 2024). I understand it is difficult to seek help. Often, the idea of therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if it is the first time. I strive to make the therapeutic process comfortable and accessible. I use a direct style of therapy and evidence-based approaches and help clients take an active approach to making change in their lives. I work to build upon the strengths you already have and help you continue to live a more valued life.
