Therapy should be easy to understand and active from the word go. We don't just talk about the problem or figure out why the patterns are there; we hit the ground running with action and get you feeling better as soon as possible. I work with a lot of folks who have tried therapy before and been disappointed when insight and understanding don't lead to change, and folks who are trying therapy for the first time and want it to be practical and clear. I start with a free 20-minute phone consultation.

Do you know what you want?
Do you want to be free? Happy? Relaxed in your body? Content? Passionate and sexy? Courageous in the face of fear? More connected to your partner or to the Divine?
How do you get in the way of living the life you want?
Do you constantly judge yourself? Noticing all the ways you "fail" to live up to way you "should" be.
Or do you tend to direct that criticism outwards? Blaming others, feeling envy, or always waiting for external circumstances to line up just right so you can finally live how you want.

We are often ruled by thoughts and patterns of conditioning that are largely outside of our awareness. While adaptive, this process can sometimes lead us astray. I aim to help you uncover unhealthy patterns of conditioning by cultivating awareness through mindful intention which will ultimately help guide you towards a more conscious and fulfilling life. I have extensive experience working with individuals suffering from mood disorders, trauma-related disorders and substance abuse.

As James Baldwin famously said, "not everything that has been faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless faced", I also offer you the following poem: "When we feel safe, anything is possible. We become unstoppable. Because we have a firm ground to launch and a safe ground to land. We can then stand. Voice ourselves, show ourselves. Life becomes a dance."

Anxiety doesn’t have to be permanent problem, even if you’ve always thought of yourself as an “anxious person.” Anxiety is learned and it can be un-learned. I’d like to help you retrain your brain to be a source of comfort and positivity. With less anxiety, you can direct your energy towards things you really value instead of worrying all the time. There is no more valuable project than your well-being, and it’s well worth the effort. I use research-backed therapy and provide my clients with actionable tools, techniques, and skills to help them make progress.

I treat men and women dealing with anxiety, career stress, relationship and communication difficulties, workaholism, imposter syndrome, OCD, panic attacks, coping with large changes, and other significant life events. Clients I work with may also be grappling with perfectionism, indecision or overthinking, anger, irritability, or "men's issues" and are looking for Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from a seasoned professional. Treatment goals are often to improve quality of life, achieve personal/professional growth, live a more fulfilling human experience, get unstuck, and strengthen their skills to enhance personal growth.

Suffering is a certainty in our lives, but sometimes it becomes more than we can bear. Oftentimes, we can become caught up in blaming ourselves- and though sometimes there can be truth to the notion, it's not true enough to guide us towards healing. We may feel slowed down, stuck, agitated, angry, frustrated or sad. There is nothing wrong or unacceptable with you or your feelings in my practice. They are part of your truth that will guide you to a deeper level of knowing.
