Feeling stuck and having trouble engaging in what really matters to you? Your brain has done an excellent job keeping you safe, but old strategies may no longer meet your needs as well as those developed with intention. Issues like family of origin discord, medical illnesses, unidentified neurodivergence, and mismatched work environments can all add up to impact our relationship with ourselves and others. I am a PDA, EDS, ARFID, POTS, and MCAS informed clinician. I especially love working with high achieving adults who have issues with perfectionism, burnout, dissociation, procrastination and later in life neurocomplex diagnoses.

While I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other disorders, for the past 15 years I have focused on the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and over the past 2 years I have immersed myself in a relatively new approach to OCD called I-CBT (Inference Based CBT). Using I-CBT techniques I have had the privilege of helping my clients, many of whom had limited success in prior OCD treatment, finally achieve freedom from this distressing disorder. When indicated I also use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My style is warm, inviting, and collaborative.

If life feels like a lot right now, whether for you or someone you love, you don’t have to carry it alone. The reasons for seeking therapy can be numerous anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, etc. Sometimes it helps to have an expert hold space to just let you breathe. Maybe you need help finding clarity about what’s next or real tools for change. My hope is that you can have a place that helps you make sense of what’s happening, get expert feedback on a path forward, and help (for you or your loved one) start feeling better, steadier, and more hopeful again.

Trevor is passionate about walking alongside people in their most difficult seasons, helping them discover hope and become the best version of themselves. He works primarily with adolescents and young adults, and has a special focus on trauma and anxiety. I am ready and prepared to aid in healing, regardless of the degree of pain or dysfunction. If you’ve never talked with a counselor, you might be anxious. I understand that counseling is never easy. But then, neither is life. And there’s no reason to be ashamed or embarrassed about asking for help. In fact, knowing you need help is a sign of courage and character.
