Remember the last time that you felt fulfilled. What did it take? Chances are that it was not the result of staying in your comfort zone. Opening up your inner world can feel vulnerable. Doing the work that it takes to reach your goals may not feel comfortable. And that’s the thing. Comfortable does not lead to growth. What can lead to growth is taking on new challenges with the guidance and support of a compassionate and experienced therapist. I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship that my clients may use for their growth, whether that means gaining insight, connecting with others, or managing distressing symptoms.
I specialize in treating individuals with anxiety, OCD, addiction, and psychosis. I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and a special interest in working with men experiencing a variety of concerns such as stress/anger management, communication problems, and marital issues.
I use well-researched practices through a humanistic lens to understand my clients as a whole, with their strengths as well as their ‘stuck points.’ My interventions are present-focused and action-oriented to provide concrete coping tools. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping you accomplish your goals.
