Be welcome. All of you is accepted here. I'm Graham, and I work with adults and young adults navigating difficult challenges. Have you been feeling alone or like you're not enough, lovable, or love-able? Are you still suffering deeply from events that happened in the past? Is life overwhelming or simply not meaningful anymore? Do you find it difficult to understand and communicate your experience and what you feel? Do you feel distant from those you love and care about? These types of challenges are exactly what therapy is meant to help you with. Healing and growth are possible, and you are not alone.
My approach borrows from IFS, ACT, ART and person-centered, creating a counseling style that offers my clients the space for a deeply embodied and resonant experience of healing. I gravitate toward these styles because they encourage naturalness, openness, and flow. I also utilize other approaches, such as breathwork and mindfulness for catalysts of insight.
Experiencing safe and meaningful connection is the foundation of emotional healing. I invite you to take the first courageous step and reach out today. I'll be on the other side, welcoming you. I also offer high-frequency counseling (2-5 sessions per week). This approach has a significant impact in my clients. I offer discounted session fees to accommodate.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety and/or depression, addiction/alcoholism, and unresolved grief. A typical treatment path: initially, we will "land the plane" and help you stabilize if needed. Then we will begin to constellate your life to discover your patterns. From there, we begin the path of enacting lasting changes that not only fit you, but empower you to move forward.
