The areas I specialize in include working with mood disorders, young adults, parenting support, various life transitions, and I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ individuals as a non-binary therapist (they/them), most especially with gender identity issues. I am also passionate about helping individuals going through infertility experiences, as my wife and I experienced this struggle firsthand before we had our child using IVF treatment. I love offering a compassionate approach to these sensitive subjects as individuals navigate their options and explore the complex emotions associated with infertility in therapy.
The evidence-based practices I use include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. My approach to therapy is very humanistic and relationship based, with heavy focus on establishing a trusting relationship that creates a safe and welcoming space for clients to express their authentic selves.
With me, you can expect working with a compassionate listener who will meet you where you are, and value and appreciate you for the unique and special human being that you are. Ultimately, this is about your health, happiness, and success, and together we can partner to get you where you want to go.
