If you are seeking assistance with intrusive thoughts or troubling behavior, like checking the locks repeatedly, then I may be of service. I have experience with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. If you struggle getting along with coworkers or even friends and family, we can work to improve those relationships. Isolation does not fix the problem, it further damages those relationships and leaves you feeling alone. Anger and anxiety are natural feelings. However, sometimes controlling them can be easier said than done.

Do you feel stuck in your life, your past, your anxiety, depression, anger, apathy, overwhelm, grief, or PTSD? As a man, it's hard to seek help. You don't have to carry the weight of your struggles alone. All men feel sad, afraid, anxious, doubtful, amongst other feelings. You're still a man. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can find the support and guidance to fix the problem. If you fully invest in this process, expect to feel lighter, more effective, efficient, powerful, and clear about where you want to go and what you want to do with your life. While I specialize in men, I love serving people of all kinds.

My ideal client is someone who is active in their own treatment. I enjoy working with clients who have a vision for how they want their life to look and are willing to take concrete steps to bring that vision to life. This client understands that therapy for one hour a week is only a fraction of the healing process. I take a holistic approach, addressing both the body's and the mind's roles in shaping our mental health. My goal is to help clients better control their body's response to trauma/stress, while also exploring and processing the emotions underneath.
