You’re high-functioning but feel stuck — anxious, burned out, disconnected, or circling the same patterns that aren’t working. You want more than just coping skills — you want real change that lasts. Maybe you’re a professional under constant pressure, a man wrestling with what strength really means, or someone in the LGBTQ+ community wanting an affirming, judgment-free space. If you’re tired of looking “fine” but feeling off inside and want meaningful, pragmatic, and actionable change — I’m your therapist.

Relationships, and how we communicate in them, is one of the most important skills I teach.
I believe communication is often more at the core of quality relationships than digging into our deep, dark, past issues...
Research, and over 35 years as a psychotherapist, clearly show that effective therapy is not a set of skills or techniques, but a way of being.
Our here & now experience is the fuel of therapy.

Therapists are like shoes. You have to try some on before you find one that fits.

I help identify values, illuminate barriers interfering with living a fulfilling life, such as mental health symptoms, substance or alcohol use/abuse, or intra/inter-personal issues, and then create effective goals to begin making meaningful change.
Is there something stopping you from living a fulfilling and value directed life? You likely have some thoughts about what these barriers (something’s) are, and yet, navigating around them has been to no avail. Powerful emotional experiences, and or, old behavioral patterns can be unrelenting, new ones can be scary, or appear too far off in the distance to effect meaningful change, and still you are motivated to try something new such that value, meaning, or an improvement in your quality of life is returned.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.
