We all have a deep desire to feel happy and at ease, and yet so often there are things in our lives that get in the way of feeling that happiness. If this resonates, you might be looking for someone to help you get there. I'm passionate about helping my clients manage symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve communication and relationship challenges, process trauma or grief, overcome barriers to deeper joy and fulfillment, and navigate questions of sexuality and gender identity. I'm a queer trans man and I work from a trauma-informed and culturally competent anti-oppression perspective.

Are you feeling stuck in shame or the like you’re constantly circling the mental cul de sac of self judgment? Does it feel like your past is holding you back from being present to what’s happening now? You know you want something that’s better than what you’re experiencing now. You want to feel better. You want connection, authentic relationships, and to live in alignment. But type of change might feel scary because it’s uncertain.

I assist people breaking out of old patterns to grow into their most vibrant selves. Message me for a free consult! You've been living according to what you were supposed to do - what others expected of you. You've been living in shades of grey and you didn't even realize it until you glimpsed something else. You're ready to live for yourself - in full color - but you're not really sure what that looks like. You can't bear going back but you're also afraid of working towards a future that's uncertain. You fear the discomfort of upending old stories and restrictive relationships.

Welcome – and thank you for your interest in the possibility of working together. Choosing to work with a new therapist is a deeply personal and sometimes difficult decision; especially when considering the balance of vulnerability and trust that's typically required to make progress toward your mental health goals. My approach is highly relational, empathetic, compassionate, and collaborative - all of which are essential traits when working with adults and teens (age 18+) who are focused on overcoming anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma; along with a handful of common co-occurring concerns.

I believe who you are is not something in need of fixing. When we feel stuck or disconnected, life feels profoundly more stressful. I work with individuals who are finally ready to take that first step on their path towards self discovery or have already begun the process on their own. During our work together, my goal is to establish a meaningful relationship with a shared sense of ownership for your treatment. The greatest predictor of treatment success is the therapeutic alliance between the therapist and client. I connect with my clients through empathy, compassion humor and metaphor.

So sorry but I am not accepting new clients at the moment. I combine Buddhist psychology with positive psychology to help clients understand how patterns of thinking are creating continued suffering. With a little guidance, thought patterns can shift and allow us to stop reacting to life and begin choosing. I believe that we need to look into the past but not re-traumatize ourselves by reliving those memories. I value the connection between myself and my client as the primary trusting tool as we work toward awareness and safety. This therapeutic alliance is the key to creating the life of peace.

Are you dealing with trauma, anxiety, addiction, stress, grief, or loss? Do you want peace of mind and to enjoy success? I help individuals realign with their integrity and strength to make the changes they want. Using Eastern and Western techniques I help clients 're-story' traumas and anxieties that allow them to achieve their goals. As an ordained Buddhist priest and former Chaplain, I also offer spiritual counseling. My experience training/counseling prisoners in the United States and Indonesia taught me how often we imprison ourselves with our own emotions.

I draw from attachment theory, psychodynamic and Buddhist psychology, CBT, DBT, Family Systems, EMDR & Mindfulness.
We each have the ability to adapt, overcome adversity, feel joy and sorrow, love, and reach our highest potential. Stressful life events, trauma, loss, conflicts, illness, and transitions can overwhelm our ability to cope. Healing becomes blocked. We become stuck. We protect and defend ourselves to avoid ever feeling that pain again. Solutions that once worked become part of the problem. When the traumatic wound is triggered, we experience intense emotion and distorted ways of thinking. In therapy, we journey together to uncover and remove the blocks to healing, transforming pain and loss into meaning, awareness, and choice.
