You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just trying to keep up with everything life is throwing at you right now. Many of the people I work with are doing their best to be a “functional human,” while quietly dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or the effects of past experiences. Folks that enjoy working with me are generally looking for someone who feels authentic... real talk, the occasional swear word, and no cookie-cutter approach.
My focus is on meeting you where you're at. Often that looks like helping you better understand what’s going on, developing tools to cope, and finding ways forward that feel more manageable and authentic. Whether you’re navigating trauma, depression, grief, or a major life transition, we’ll move at a pace that makes sense for you.
Taking the first step can be challenging, but if this feels like it might be a good fit, I’d be happy to connect. I offer a free initial consultation so you can get a sense of whether working together feels right.

Spencer is a warm, skilled, and deeply non-judgmental therapist. As a queer person, I may fear judgment from others, but I've never felt that with him. His thoughtful perspective has helped me discover new directions I wouldn't have found on my own.

I use an integrative approach built on a foundation of person-centered and existential modalities with a strong emphasis on safety, trust, and empowerment. With each client I work to explore what brings them to therapy and collaborate on what works for them. Love homework and book recommendations? Sure, let's talk about it. Hate therapy homework and never going to do it? No problem - truly!
