Counseling with me is not just “talking about problems” but looking at all of you and identifying how to help you feel more alive. I called my practice OpenHand Counseling as I believe almost anything worthwhile in life requires us to trust, collaborate, and extend ourselves. It's hard to hold a tool, cook a meal, garden, write, play a sport, give affection to another or a pet, or do almost anything without opening my fingers to meet the world. Whether you are processing past events, working towards achieving goals and plans for your life, or just need additional support, let’s work together to get you where you want to go.
I use a variety of techniques in my practice, but focus on somatic therapy, experiential therapy, positive psychology, and internal family systems. Particular areas of expertise include men’s therapy, trauma/PTSD, addiction/recovery, somatic/body healing, anxiety/depression, career counseling, and more.
Connect with me if you want to feel more alive! I will help you identify your blocks and help you create your own path to the best version of you. Therapy can be about growth, healing, and processing grief, shame, anger, fear etc., but it can also be about having fun, living in joy, gratitude, strength, achievement, and kindness. Please reach out!
