Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed? Do you feel each day is a struggle and there is no hope? Do you have anger that is difficult to control? Have you experienced a life-changing event that you need help coping with and understanding? Is your child or teenager struggling with emotional, social, or behavioral difficulties? Are you a concerned parent? People visit counselors for many reasons. For some it is the beginning of breaking free of chains preventing discovery of their true self. For others it means understanding why unhealthy patterns of behavior continue. For all it is an investment in hope and change.

I take a lot of influence from Evidence-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapies & started my learning with NLP or finding creative solutions for problems through modeling the strategies of successful individuals.
Life brings stress and challenges making the journey seem hopeless at times. Anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and trauma find it's way into our lives. We want to sometimes give up, but our human nature is to reach out for a simple connection.

I know it's challenging and difficult to find someone with whom you can trust, and I value the struggle to just be heard. My name is Andy and I want to hear your story and help anyway I can.

It is no secret that mental distress can be a devastating roadblock in life. It is my hope that together, we can create a completely safe and understanding environment in which we can work together toward achieving balance, implementing healthy coping strategies, and navigating life’s many obstacles toward growth. Therapy can be quite a daunting step to take for many, but I have no doubt in my mind that together, we can lay the foundation for personal growth.

Thank you for your interest. My ideal client is motivated for change and open to exploring more about themselves. I use a more direct style of counseling that heavily incorporates aspects of choice theory, reality therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help my adult clients make real changes in their lives. For children, I utilize evidence-based directive and non-directive play therapy approaches, depending upon the child's unique psychosocial needs.

Life is complicated, and for every one of us, there comes a time when we feel lost, alone, or trapped in our circumstances. Whether we are struggling with depression and anxiety, having trouble in a relationship, or weighing heavy questions of our identity and where we fit into the world, sometimes we can't just figure things out on our own. For people in the LGBTQ+ community, couples, and nonmonogamous people, there can be even more challenges to navigate. We all need someone to listen to us, help us untangle the messy bits, and work with us to improve our lives.

Are you ready to start experiencing life rather than just surviving day to day? Maybe symptoms like high anxiety or depression get in your way. It’s hard to thrive when you’re constantly worried about the past or overwhelmed by the present. I’ve seen so many gifted people unable to embrace their full potential. No matter what you’re going through you’re not defined by your diagnosis. With the right support you can overcome the obstacles that keep you from living a joyful and meaningful life. My job is to help you heal and build the confidence to do just that.
