It’s absolutely normal to feel overwhelmed by emotions like doubt, shame, fear, or anger, particularly during uncertain times or when past experiences loom large. It's important to remember that you're not alone in this struggle—many people are facing similar feelings and challenges.

I help people struggling with emotional volatility, the effects of trauma including betrayal trauma; substance abuse, sex/porn addiction, “ hair pulling”, "head banging" overeating, excessive people pleasing, or obsessively organizing or cleaning to get things “just right”, the list goes on and on, and anxiety, panic, and feelings of depression can result.
I don’t know why I do it… I just seems instinctual, automatic, or just “who I am”. It happens before I can even think of a different way to do things. Even if I know logically that it is not helpful behavior, I can’t seem to stop myself.
Does this sound like you or a loved one? Some of our responses are unconscious and are triggered by either internal or external factors or both. These responses or behaviors can become compulsive and destructive to ourselves, our relationships, and our lives. I work with individuals, couples and families who are struggling with these symptoms or are affected by these symptoms in their loved ones.

Welcome to my practice! Have you been feeling like anxiety, low mood and motivation have been getting you stuck and preventing you from living the life you want to? Anxiety is a normal and important feeling that we developed to protect us from harm. If you are experiencing overwhelming levels of anxiety though, it can prevent you from doing things you care about, disrupt your social life and cause intense distress. Similarly, if you suffer from very low mood and motivation, it might seem impossible to engage in activities you previously cared about.

My approach is to draw out your unique personal strengths rather than focusing on the problems in your life. In areas of your life in which you feel stuck, we will work together to understand and alter the cognitive and emotional systems that are holding you back from accessing your healthiest, most grounded self. Your therapy can be focussed on identifying solutions to challenging situations, or, if you are interested in longer term treatment, we may explore your past and how it affects your life today.

Waitlist for new clients
Life is change and, mostly, you've been rolling with the punches. But complicated life transitions can leave anyone at a loss. You might feel helpless, hopeless and alone in trying to cope with relationship issues and troublesome or debilitating symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and obsessions. With nearly two decades of experience, I help adults and families like you navigate the turmoil of challenging life passages including death of a loved one, chronic or terminal illness, relationship issues, separation or divorce, or adjustments to a different job, culture, gender, or sexual orientation.

Hi there, I'm Fletcher!
I believe that therapy is not about getting fixed. Rather, its emphasis and power lie in the attempt to better understand one’s self through the exploration of thoughts and feelings. This process of exploration enables us to live fully and more aligned with our wants and needs. Oftentimes an individual comes to therapy with an issue or perhaps a variety of issues. These challenges might cause distress or negatively impact an aspect of one's life in some way or another. This can be quite difficult and daunting.

My work with my clients is largely oriented toward Somatic (of the body) Mindfulness as a tool to help manage the distress often experienced with trauma and mood-related struggles. I approach my work from the perspective that increased self-awareness and Mindfulness coupled with the refinement of coping skills can assist us in finding more fulfillment and ease when managing our life stressors. I put particular emphasis on self-esteem and self-reliance to empower my clients to access their own sense of safety, stability, and ability.
