My aim is to create an open and lively space where we may understand your hopes and goals, and collaboratively explore how to move towards them. My approach is informed by evidenced-based relational and insight-oriented therapies.

My passion in psychotherapy is working with adults who struggle with behavioral and mental health issues, including trauma, anxiety ADHD and a variety of personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder and addictions.

Oftentimes in life we find ourselves stuck and uncertain how to move forward.

I work with adults of diverse cultural identities in addressing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, grief, OCD, trauma, career concerns, substance abuse, depression, stress, relationship problems, bipolar disorders, and ADHD. I also offer psychological testing and assessment.

You can learn skills to help you face reality, and enjoy the life you have.

According to my mother, my first word was "why." Why is the sky blue? Why can't I have a cookie for breakfast? Why are people hurting? This curiosity is integral to my work as a therapist, as I strive to understand my client's worldview and the problems they are facing. Whether you are reliving past trauma, plagued by worrisome thoughts, concerned about your relationship or substance use, or feeling generally dissatisfied in life, I will provide an empathic ear, support, and guidance to help you meet these challenges and make the life changes you desire.

Sex Addiction is a black hole. Getting help via a therapeutic relationship where the client can be heard, accepted, empathized with and helped to feel safe can lead to the healing of freedom from this addiction.

The greatest satisfaction I derive is from seeing an individual attain his or her life goals through this special therapeutic relationship. First consult is free.

My style is warm, real, and practical. Working with me in therapy means having a conversation, just two people talking together. I embrace humor and honesty in therapy.

I offer a range of specialty services that generally fall outside the typical categories and tend to use a “whole person” approach to treatment and stabilization, though over the last 10+ years of intensive couple’s and individual work I’ve treated almost everything and welcome all issues large or small, no matter the complexity. I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy as well as Spiritual Emergence Coaching and meditation training for issues where mental health and spirituality meet.
