We all experience the range of emotions as we journey through life. Our emotions bring a fullness and richness to our lives. However, at times we may find ourselves stuck in emotions that interfere with our ability to fully enjoy our lives; at times we may face a sudden and/or unexpected change in our lives that leaves us frustrated and/or confused about how to continue on. Through the therapeutic journey methods are uncovered and explored that help us develop a greater capacity to navigate the more difficult emotions, as well as improve our important relationships.

Hello, and thanks for dropping by. Life can be incredibly lonely and harsh. My goal is to support you, gently and honestly, towards increased self respect and worthiness. Licensed since 1999, I have vast experience with children and adults. Depression, anxiety, complicated traumas and grief; issues regarding foster care and adoption; sexual abuse, parenting, and/or child welfare are areas I'm well versed in. I'm genuine, compassionate, and I tell it like it is. Most importantly, you deserve a therapist with whom you're comfortable. That search can be trying, but it's worthy because you are. I'd be honored to be that person.

Life can be difficult. Maybe you are looking for new ideas, support, or you are ready to make some changes in your life. I believe that all of us can change and positive things can happen. I provide a warm and supportive environment that focuses on your needs and goals in life. Together we can develop a treatment plan that will enable you to make the changes you want in life.

My team of therapists and I welcome anyone experiencing anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, substance abuse, thoughts of suicide, despair, and other challenges that interfere with their well-being, happiness, and relationships with others. Even if you've previously found therapy to be unsuccessful, we can help! We treat the cause, not just the symptoms, of your distress. We believe that everyone is intelligent and capable; our job is to help you discover the capabilities that you already posses. You and your therapist will work together to resolve the obstacles that are preventing you from becoming your authentic self and living the life you desire.

I enjoy working with clients that are interested in living their best life possible by working through the challenges that have kept them from feeling whole and emotionally healthy. I work with issues of personal growth and health & wellness by helping to clear the challenges of trauma that come from violence, disturbing memories, medical challenges, anger, addictions, stress, anxiety & panic attacks, complicated grief, eating struggles and communication. I like to deal with the whole person which includes healthy habits, communication and their relationship to others. I work with individuals and couples.

Please email only, easiest to reach me. I’m offering telehealth only at this time. I have been working with individuals and families for two decades. My current specialties include individuals and elders. My training is primarily attachment-based, relational, and emotionally focused therapy as well as jungian focus. And I am fascinated with how we are going to all age well in this culture, so I very much enjoy working with people adjusting to later life. I have also learned since a fairly young age that there is a ton of grief we all need to attend to, I appreciate offering support while people are dealing with pain.

One of the hardest things I have ever done, was asking for help while in the midst of personal crisis. While on our journey through life, loss and change are inevitable. The most challenging moments, although difficult, are also opportunities for growth and self-examination. I would be honored to be part of your journey.

I focus on helping people achieve an improved quality of life, whether it be through developing healthier relationships, overcoming an addiction, or healing from a painful past. I support people in learning how to more effectively manage life stressors that can often times contribute to other symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. I connect well with individuals who want to increase their self confidence and feel a stronger sense of empowerment in their ability to effectively manage their emotions, relationships with others, and overall life goals.

I started my practice in 1994 with a desire to help people through their difficult situations. As a father my heart goes out to children. I strive to meet people where they are and help them become the best they can be. The majority of my practice is made up of children and teens but I also work with a number of adults and couples. It is important to note not everyone is ready to face their struggles or change their situation. While I would like to help everyone the person must be ready and motivated for therapy to be effective.

Sometimes we feel emotionally numb because of past or present experiences. Maybe the memory of your experiences trigger discomfort, isolation, or thoughts of regret, & you’re tired of being controlled by your past. You want to feel happy & show-up fully for your friends, family, & partner, but you just can’t seem to shake it off enough to be present. I am here to face the struggle with you & to tell you that depression, anxiety & trauma are highly treatable. Reaching out can be scary and unsettling, but you don't have to do it alone.

I specialize in men’s issues. I've always felt pushed to be a "lone-wolf" and culture told me to "be a man" or "get over it" when it came to my emotions. As men, when we have a problem we deal with it on our own, often by using pornography, drinking, playing video games, or searching elsewhere for affection. We lie, we defend, we run. We constantly look for peace and acceptance, even if it’s temporary or fake. It can feel hard to trust those closest to us and we may think, “No one cares about my needs but me” or "if they really knew me, they wouldn't love me."

You're tired of second guessing every decision, feeling stuck between replaying the past and worrying about the future. You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but still feel like you fall short. You’re tired of feeling judged, most of all by yourself. You're ready to get back to the present without all the overwhelm, confusion, or self doubt. Life doesn't have to be like this! There is hope for the joyful life you're looking for. Working with me helps you reconnect with what’s important so you can find direction to build a meaningful, fulfilling life.
