Loneliness. It weighs you down. What you really want is to feel connected and supported. Instead, you believe no one could possibly understand your pain. Conversations feel empty and strained. Your heart feels heavy. Your body is tense. You’re tired of holding that forced smile all day long. If anyone asks, you’re “fine.” This is no way to live. You’re looking for answers. If that’s you, I have some good news:

As you grew up and made your way through the world, you may have found yourself disconnected. You may have been told that who you are isn't okay and needs to be changed to be acceptable. You may have found that your relationships don't feel as satisfying as you hoped they would be. You may, as a result, find yourself with that nagging feeling that no matter what, you're somehow too much and not enough all at the same time. As your therapist, I want to help you get back in touch with who you are so you can live more authentically into your values, identity, and desires.

Living in "stressful times" can make it feel like mental health has to be on the back burner but I believe in prioritizing joy and rest to endure what seems impossible. Using evidence-based, trauma-informed practices, I work with clients to find their true selves and help strip away external stressors so they feel prepared to take on the rest of life. I enjoy helping both solo and partnered clients navigate difficult conversations and establish boundaries. It is normal for the therapy process to feel a bit intimidating but my sessions are informal and individually tailored. Neurodiverse? You'll be right at home!

I invite all parts of your story into the room. I most often hear that what is wanted from therapy is hope and relief. Relief from anxiety, hope for your relationship. I believe you can achieve self-esteem, hope, and healing. I've seen it happen many times. Trusting this process is the first step. You don't have to do this alone. I can stand with you and guide you towards a safe and secure self within life's ups and downs. You can learn how to regain a sense of self, heal from the past, come home to your body, and create a life you find worth in living.

Right now, it probably feels like you’re holding onto water, trying to juggle all the roles you play. Spouse, partner, friend, parent, daughter, son, sibling, employee, and the list goes on. You feel like you don’t have a grip on your relationships with others, and it gets challenging trying to find a solution. There might even be different times when you suppress all the stress of this, or there might be other times when you say things to others you don’t mean. That is frustrating and hard.

I am a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR, SomEx, Partner Betrayal Trauma, breathwork and DBT. I enjoy weaving ceremony and ritual into my work with an emphasis on grounding and somatic experiences. Using an attachment-focused lens, I work with clients to improve communication and connection in their relationships. I believe we are are interconnected species and everyone is capable of living a life of purpose and meaning in healthy relationship to themselves and others. The mind-body-spirit connection is the foundation of what I teach and practice.

Imagine being full of joy, presence, and gratitude. Life can be overwhelming at times with all of its troubles. It may feel like you're no longer a driver, but a passenger in your own life. You have difficulty seeing beyond the here and now, unable to find solutions, and you can't come back to a sense of self because everything else seems to be keeping you from peace. You're wanting to take control and live a life you've been dreaming of. I work specifically with addiction, boundaries, and attachment styles.

If life has been throwing more at you than you can keep up with, you’re in the right place. It can feel like total whiplash—overwhelming, exhausting, and hard to make sense of. I get it. I’m here to help you slow things down, sort through the chaos, and find a way forward that feels manageable and true to you. I hope to foster therapeutic relationships that are warm, transparent, and feel more conversational than clinical but with all the same value. I focus on helping young adults through transitions, change, and uncertainty.

You might feel like you’re carrying a big burden trying to manage the pressures of what you think you should do or how you should act. Maybe you’re feeling exhausted trying to advocate for yourself in a medical system that isn’t always set up to support you. And maybe you often feel like something bad is going to happen—to you or someone you love—and you’re not alone in that. There’s no “right” way to move through life, but we live in a world that often makes it feel like there is—one filled with stress, judgment, and isolation.

You don’t have to try so hard to be good. You are not your old patterns. My goal is to help you uncover and release the beliefs that keep you from recognizing your innate goodness.
I love working with people who want to feel rather than react, those seeking to make a friend of their mind and break free from habitual cycles of thought, emotion, and behavior. This is your time to feel what longs to be felt. Together, we’ll explore how to find balance on the path you’re already walking—because freedom isn’t waiting somewhere else. It’s right here.

I provide individualized support tailored to my clients' unique stories. I use expressive arts therapy and dance/movement therapy techniques in addition to client-centered talk therapy to engage with clients as we process in both the verbal and non-verbal realms. The body and mind are interconnected and the body can be used as a map guiding explorations of the self, as well as a metaphor to express emotions which can be difficult to convey in words alone. Through a therapeutic relationship, I provide empathic support and playful intervention.

Welcome and thanks for checking out my profile. I'm Scott. Perhaps you’re here because your inner life has become too chaotic and you’re looking for a way to find peace. Or maybe you already sense some healing and recognize the need to deepen the inward journey, heal old wounds and find a therapist familiar with existential understanding, psychedelic integration and non-dual perspectives. Wherever you find yourself, I’ll meet you there. I’m sure of this; it is possible to access the wonder and creative energy of youth and move into new way of being in life.

I am passionate about the ability therapy has to change lives for the better - how it helps people heal and build authentic, real relationships. I believe in empathy, vulnerability, authenticity, and trying to stay in the present moment. I am both creative and analytical and am excited when therapy is referred to as "a science and an art.” I believe in exploring the mind-body connection, especially the impact of breathwork in dealing with anxiety and stress. I love the power of understanding ourselves and how our minds work to create change. I work particularly well with anxiety, perfectionism & religious injury to name a few.

My clients often refer to what I call 'blurry trauma,' early attachment experiences that were less than affirming but so ingrained, the client often doesn't recall outstanding events. They may not even remember much about their childhood at all. That kind of trauma leads to addiction, confusing, disorganized or unfulfilling relationships, and difficulty harnessing the resources needed to navigate change so the client can create their most authentic life and relationships. I use present moment, present location resources such as the client's own strengths, passions, and ability to make creative decisions to facilitate safe change.
