Are you feeling held back by past experiences or struggles that keep you from living the life you envision? My name is Morgan, and I’m here to help you navigate those challenges with warmth, empathy, and a touch of encouragement. I specialize in working with teens and young adults, including members of the LGBT+ community. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, OCD, or relationship issues, I provide a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.

My therapeutic style is geared towards assisting you to meet your goals and needs, while exploring your past and how it shapes your present. I have experience working with individual adolescents and adults, couples, and families. I typically work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, family dynamic issues, poor peer relations, grief and loss. I have acquired specialized skills from working with at-risk youth and families in group homes and juvenile hall, where my passions are highlighted. I believe all clients are the experts in their life and I aim to give tools and guidance to help reach your personal goals.

I believe that change is inevitable and constant. Change occurs within a person based on their experiences, and as a person has different experiences, they change within themselves. Some people may be seeking help changing back to who they were, some may need help completing a change within them already, and some may want to change their current experiences to differ from their past. I believe successful therapy happens when the client and I become a team working together to make that change achievable. I would like to work with you to help you discover your process within the cycle of the experience of change.

Chronic anxiety, depression, and substance abuse are often symptoms of much deeper problems. Part of you is ready to start healing from the trauma that has interfered with your life for so long. It has caused so many broken relationships, fears, anxiety, depression, grief and pain. Even though part of you may doubt there's any hope, part of you really wants to try.

I work with clients who need support in making positive, lasting changes. Making change is simple, but not easy. I've helped many individuals over the years reach personal goals such as: healing trauma, rebuilding after loss, learning coping skills to manage anxiety, maintaining sobriety, setting boundaries in relationships, identifying & communicating feelings, & developing self-compassion. In our sessions, you can expect me to be relational; clients have described me as warm & easy to open up to. I'm passionate about helping people as they transition through & process difficult experiences.

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.

Life can be very overwhelming at times and connections with others are important. Sometimes we have difficulty connecting and overreact and don't know why. Sometimes we have unmet needs but we’re not really sure what those are. Sometimes we are in a loving relationship but we shift from closeness to distance. Sometimes we have difficulty expressing how we really feel and tend to focus on others rather than ourselves. If any of this sounds familiar therapy in a safe setting may be helpful. We all want to feel good about ourselves and our lives. Sharing our issues,needs, and goals can help to move us forward

The first step is always the hardest. Thank yourself for taking this time to seek help for whatever it is that ails you. Oftentimes we come to therapy to talk about the issues we face with family, romantic partners, work stress, loss, and other things outside of our control. Eventually, you'll find that you cannot change these things. Disappointing, I know. What you can change, however, is how you relate to these things. I utilize a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach to help clients get un-stuck from the patterns they are unknowingly engaging in.

I subscribe to a holistic, Humanistic approach of therapeutic treatment, frequently incorporating into my practice methods such as psychodynamic, mindfulness, person-centered, and solution-focused therapy, among others. I believe most everyone can begin a process of healing from the many benefits a therapeutic experience has to offer. I treat all of my clients with unconditional positive regard and provide a safe, judgment-free zone that fosters healing.

Life can become challenging to all of us at some time or another. Whether it is dealing with a loss, struggling with depression or anxiety, struggling to handle day to day stressors, or even just feeling off and knowing you're not living or feeling how you would like to, we could all use some support at different times in our lives. I got into this field because I truly wanted to do something as a career that helped others and couldn't think of doing something where I wasn't able to interact with and support others.

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.
