Oftentimes we find ourselves in patterns which no longer (or never did) serve us. These patterns are often learned through our life experiences. Many times when we have problematic childhoods or have experienced trauma, we develop thoughts and patterns that are maladaptive – self-destructive or unhealthy. The good news is that with work, we can unlearn these behaviors through self-exploration, reprocessing, and the development of new habits and healthy tools for coping.

I am a LMFT, certified in DBT, trained in EMDR and other modalities.
I do not believe there is an ideal client.
You just need honesty for change to occur.

I integrate EMDR, Adlerian theory, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and attachment-focused approaches to help you get beneath patterns, not just cope with them.
You look like you have it together, but inside you’re overwhelmed, frustrated, or running on fumes. You may be driven and successful, yet feel something is missing. You’re tired of repeating the same relationship patterns and living with self-doubt. You want real change, not surface-level fixes. You’re looking for insight, clarity, and the freedom to be yourself, and for someone grounded who will challenge you. If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

My areas of expertise are in Behavior Modification, Depression, Anxiety, Psychosis, Risk Assessment, EMDR, Trauma, PTSD and Sexual Paraphilia's.
I'm Wes! As your therapist, it is my goal to see you become a better version of yourself. It is my belief that life's experiences teach things about the world that may no longer be the most helpful or true today; even if they were true at the time in our past. When we don't adapt and remain flexible, we find ourselves in a web of mistaken beliefs, thinking errors and unresolved life problems. As a result, it becomes too hard to find our way and manage life's challenges in the here-and-now.

I use approaches like EMDR, IFS (parts work), EFT tapping, and mindfulness, because healing is not one-size-fits-all.
Do you ever feel like the weight of the world is pressing down on you? Maybe your thoughts race at night, leaving you anxious and restless.

Along with traditional therapy, we offer creative, forward-thinking options like:
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, EMDR Intensives, Customized Intensives and Retreat-Style programming.
You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. In fact, if you’re an entrepreneur, executive, or high performer, you know how much pressure comes with the drive for excellence. You're making big decisions, carrying the weight of responsibility, and constantly pushing for growth—personally and professionally.
That kind of journey takes more than grit. It takes support.

When home life feels chaotic, exhausting, and full of conflict, it’s easy to feel frustrated, anxious, or alone. Maybe arguments erupt out of nowhere, behavior has become disruptive, or ADHD, anxiety, or depression seem to be running the show. Over time, these challenges can strain marriages, friendships, and school life, and leave everyone feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to make it better.
You’ve tried to fix things, but nothing seems to stick — and the chaos keeps stealing peace from your home.

I’m trained in EMDR and draw from CBT, IFS, attachment work, person-centered therapy, strength-focused therapy, and positive psychology.
Are you feeling overwhelmed and don't know why, I’ve been there. Maybe you’re navigating the weight of trauma, questioning your reality as a result of gaslighting. Maybe you’re a mom who loves deeply, but feels overstimulated, depleted, and like your nervous system never gets a break. Or maybe you’re curious about your triggers and want to understand yourself on a deeper level. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about coming home to yourself, building awareness, and learning how to feel safe again. For me, the heart of this work is the relationship we build together that's rooted in safety, curiosity, compassion, and trust.
