Are you someone seeking to deeply understand your triggers and emotional patterns, rather than just focusing on the surface-level changing of thoughts and behaviors? You may have tried other therapies without success or experienced relapse after treatment ended. Often my patients are struggling with trauma, chronic distress, or unhelpful relationship dynamics, and want to feel better and regain control. Using the trauma-informed Conversational Model, I provide a compassionate space to explore these deeper issues, fostering healing, resilience, and lasting emotional clarity.

Do you feel stuck in exhausting cycles of guilt, shame or self-doubt, even while appearing to function well on the outside? Difficult home environments, trauma, or neurodivergence may have shaped how you see yourself, leaving you silently battling intense thoughts and emotions. Perhaps you’ve been through painful experiences that others (or yourself) might not see as trauma yet they’ve had a deep impact. Trauma isn’t always one big event; it can come from ongoing experiences like emotional neglect, criticism, bullying, or growing up around conflict. My passion is working with complex trauma often accompanied with neurodivergence.

If you can't stop saying yes when you mean no, your emotions take over before you can think, or you keep landing in the same relationship patterns no matter how hard you try — you're not broken. These are patterns, and patterns can be understood and changed. I work with adults navigating people-pleasing, emotional reactivity, burnout, and relationship dynamics that keep repeating — and with those wondering whether adult ADHD or autism is part of the picture. Together we make sense of what's actually driving your experience, so you can change it instead of just managing it.

Hi, I'm Andy, and I want to instill hope back in you for your future. Are you stuck going round and round in circles, on the hamster wheel of life, or "making the same mistakes" in relationships, over and over again? I've been there myself. Maybe giving yourself time to pause, reflect, and gaining some new tools for your personal toolbox is all you need to start the journey to wholeness. Let's dive deep into a world of discovery and choices, that our emotions are often signposts to deeper truths, if only we take the time and have the eyes to see. Often the greatest rewards lie at the end of life's hardest roads.
