It's hard to read a paragraph, look at a photo, and then decide who is worth trusting with the most intimate and difficult parts of your life. To help make things easier, I offer a free 30 minute consult. As you read on, I hope my method and experience will be a good match for you. Therapy can play a crucial role in helping with problems in relationships, at home, and at work. During my five years in mental health, I've helped young adults find meaning in their lives, traumatized people talk about their issues for the first time, and anxious people communicate more openly to their partners.
I feel equally comfortable helping clients process emotions, create actionable plans, or talk shop about how the brain and body work. My areas of expertise are addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, sexual issues, transitions to adulthood, and ADHD. I particularly enjoy working with artists, students, healthcare providers, first responders, and queer folks.
I am not the window gazing type and engaging in session is important to me. Engaging means throwing in a joke at the right time, collaborating when things feel stuck, and providing honest feedback. As to how I could best help you, we would need to talk one-on-one about specifics. Please give me an email to set up a time with me.

The issues that I treat are often coexist with trauma: ADHD, addiction, anxiety, insomnia, depression, and sexual issues. I use a combination of biological, social, intrapsychic, and environmental approaches to treat these issues. By covering multiple factors in a client's life, I believe this gives us the greatest chance of alleviating symptoms.

I use a combination of CBT and Psychodynamic therapy. This helps clients learn how habits are created and broken, find and let go of patterns of being in the world that hold us back, and work with thoughts, memories, and values to make new meaning in life.
