I specialize in couples therapy, depression, and men's issues. Couples I see struggle through conflict resolution and think about ending their relationship. Their communication is littered with: “Why!?” “What’s wrong with you!?” and “Are you fucking kidding me!?” Individuals I see struggle with anger, feeling valued, or feeling worthy. They feel like a ticking time bomb, struggling to hold their emotions in. They're scared to say their needs. They feel confused because everything they've tried leads to failure. They're tired of the bullshit. They want to be heard, appreciated, loved. They don't want to settle, they want to thrive.

I approach therapy with care, compassion, and motivation to help you achieve your goals. I primarily use Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Gottman Method to guide you to an understanding of your thoughts, emotions, needs and values. Instead of ignoring issues or having blow ups, you'll be able to effectively tackle problems and experience relief.

It's been long enough waiting for change to happen on it's own. It's draining being angry all the time. Continuing to fight about the same shit over and over again is exhausting. You're done feeling checked out and ready to figure this out. That's why you're here. You want better. You deserve it. Feel free to reach out. I'll guide you there.

I work with clients who struggle with their relationships, anxiety, anger, and depression. Our first few sessions are focused on understanding your problems. From there, we work toward healing the wounds that continue to prevent you from thriving. My clients experience reduced stress, improved relationships, and become better at communicating their personal boundaries and needs.
