I help client talk out there situations as if we are looking at a hologram of what's been going on in their lives. We look to understand and change. I believe that everyone has the capacity to change, we sometimes need help finding that ability within us. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgeWj2eQlHoBEuUe8Q9ePEQ

All of us develop patterns of behavior based on survival instincts from the moment we are born. Ideally, as we mature our survival skills would mature as well and that's often not the case. A behavior that was successful in the past can hurt us in the present and keep us repeating the same self limiting patterns over and over. Everything we do has elements of relationship. Professional, romantic, platonic, familial, athletic, and academic relationships make up our societal existence. By learning how to be in relationship with ourselves we learn how to be in relationship with others.

Emotions are normal! The difference between feeling anxious or depressed lies in our interpretation of these emotions. I work with children, adolescents and adults for individual or couples counseling. I enjoy working with young people by helping them to understand emotions and what they mean. There are several therapeutic modalities I use including art therapy as a way to connect feelings to behaviors and sports metaphors for visualizing change. Through this process my clients increase self-control and self-esteem. My goal is to reveal the strengths individuals posses even if the current life situation may feel overwhelming.

Do you often find yourself struggling with intrusive thoughts, overthinking, and an overwhelming sense of dread/doomscrolling online. Saying to yourself 'if I make the wrong call right now, everything will suck forever,' 'what if,' and 'ugh, I think I ruined everything just now.' The overactive dialogue that anxiety contributes to can encourage isolation from friends and family, and avoidance. Thought spiraling, lack of confidence, and feelings of overwhelm/stress can all be the way anxiety manifests and makes you feel stuck. Let's work on that together . I have immediate openings for both in person and Telehealth therapy sessions.

Your healing can begin right now when you make the brave decision to choose a therapist who will listen deeply, seek to understand your feelings, and help you create a new and empowering story about who you truly are. That is my approach to therapy. My aim is to teach my clients how to identify old, limiting beliefs that interfere with their relationships, their sense of purpose, and inner peace. Together, we can work on healing the unhealthy relationship you have with yourself if you are willing to shed that old identity to embrace one that is whole, genuine, and resilient.

Creating the life you want to live can be incredibly difficult. The forces pushing you to conform to expectations are strong. But what I have learned is that there is a force inside each of us which is even stronger. Jung called this force the “Self” and the process that it sets in motion is “individuation.” Honoring the impulses coming from the Self moves us on to a path which is ours alone, where we can discover the deep passions and purpose of our existence. Are you ready and willing to answer the “call to adventure?’

The elephant in the room is that it still feels taboo to sit with a stranger and talk about the intimate details of your life.

I strive to collaborate with my clients as every person is individually unique.

My ideal client is an individual looking to work through their depression, anxiety, or relationship issues, or a couple seeking to find effective ways to communicate with each other to stop getting in the same negative and exhausting upsets. I think many people who see me have been individuals who need someone to help them understand and work with their place in life and in their relationships. I tend to work mostly with men who feel more comfortable with another male to make sense of the difficult area of emotions and how to communicate them well.
