"Parents, if you need a safe place for your teen to talk through issues of depression, anxiety, and problems I can help. Teens relate to me as male role-model and since I am a younger therapist, they open up. I take Cigna and Medicare and have openings right now."

"Unresolved childhood issues provide recurring challenges in adulthood and may show up in the form of sadness, worry, relationship problems, substance abuse or poor self-esteem. For adults abused as children, complex trauma may leave one with panic, obsessive thoughts, self-harming behaviors, or mood disorders. Sometimes individuals are given many diagnoses and medications and end up in therapies that do not resolve their underlying issue. Dissociative processes go unrecognized in many therapies, resulting in treatment that may not resolve the underlying problem, leaving one symptomatic. In my professional experience most individuals change and grow through a successful therapeutic encounter."

"I utilize both relational theory and mindfulness practice as grounding principles of my therapy style. Relational work is based on the idea that through our relationships and knowing how we operate within them, we can better understand ourselves and grow to our fullest potentials. Mindfulness practice seeks to observe and notice our reactions to experiences - from the most minute to the largest, for the purposes of decreasing our suffering. I seek to support people in healing from interpersonal, familiar, societal, systemic, and historical traumas. I provide psychotherapy for individuals, those in relationships (couples, poly, friendships, etc) and families."

"Are you in a place in your life where big changes are happening both inside and outside yourself? You feel unsure of how to express and assert yourself in the world and relationships. You wish for more clarity and confidence. Maybe you feel alone in what you're going through. Therapy is a safe place to explore what's going on, to feel understood, supported, and find your voice. I believe healing happens when we can tend to all the parts of ourselves, light and dark. Wholeness arises when we can express and fully embrace who we really are."
