If you're reading this, I imagine you're feeling pretty stuck: stuck in negative emotions that feel inescapable, stuck in thoughts that are toxic and shaming, stuck in a cycle of behaviors that don't serve you. In moments like this, there is no shame in reaching out for help! Hi, I'm Geoffrey, and I'm a Resident Counselor who specializes in working with clients with eating disorders, trauma, depression and anxiety, and LGBTQIA+ needs.

My ideal clients want to achieve stabilization in thoughts, mood, and behavior. They are at a point where they are aware of a change in their “norm” and want to process through symptoms that have surfaced as a result of that change. They are looking for coping skills and techniques to assist initially in stabilization and possibly continued work to process through past events that might possibly affect them in the present. They have goals of identifying triggers and stressors, understanding current or past coping, and develop healthy coping strategies and interventions. They want to "feel" like themselves again.

Get busy living or... A stark choice laid bare by Andy Dufresne from The Shawshank Redemption. But what does it mean to live? Living is more than mere existence. It’s about experiencing joy, feeling connected, and finding purpose. It’s about overcoming challenges, embracing growth, and building resilience. Therapy is a catalyst for this transformation. It's a space where you can explore the depths of your being, understand your patterns, and develop tools to overcome obstacles. As a therapist with lived addiction and mental health recovery, I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can begin to heal and reclaim your life.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My primary goal as a therapist is to make sure that each session is client-centered. This means that YOU are the main focus of therapy! I aim to ensure that therapy sessions are tailored to meet the needs of each client so that the individual can feel comfortable, supported, heard, accepted, and most of all-ready to grow. I tailor sessions to fit each client by integrating the client’s strengths and interests into sessions (art, writing, crafting, and music). One of my favorite things to integrate into session (when appropriate) is humor! I love to laugh!

It is not uncommon for people to struggle as they go about their everyday lives. Often these struggles are easily overcome, such as running late for an appointment or getting a flat tire, but at other times these struggles are more serious, affecting individuals at a deeper level. For example, depression can make it difficult to get out of bed in the morning or anxiety can paralyze decision making, while both can lead to isolation from friends, family, and other support systems that are the best resources in such moments. Likewise trauma can lead to self-doubt and feelings of worthlessness. Most people want something better.
