At all stages of life, a little work on the heart can become necessary. I see children in the context of play where they are free to express themselves most fully. They work out their problems by gaining independence and strengthening their self-esteem in a play room setting. I provide tools for teens to strengthen their identity and foster healthy relationships. I offer understanding and hope to women who have been betrayed by a spouse and/or have suffered from the painful effects of pornography and sexual addiction. The addiction/co-addition cycle can be overcome.

Life can be messy at times. We can get overwhelmed by everyday events, unexpected surprises-both good and not so good- and the expectations of others around us. In some cases, we're still dealing with the past and can't even begin to solve today's issues.

This is "CARING not "Counseling". I don't "provide care", or "give care". I just CARE about you. My name is Dr. Wes, and I'm an Epistemologist. I study how we know and I am fascinated with the conversations we have with our "self". How those conversations shape our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions. My clients are more like friends than clients. We explore how to reach a "good life" and "how to know when we have it", together. So I don't counsel them I care for them. I'd love to ask you what is your good life, are you a moment person or a next moment person, how do you define joy, what's your truth and more. Let's Talk

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a different and fun way to reach children, adolescents, and young adults without the stigma of talk therapy. EAP is an alternative therapeutic approach that addresses mental health concerns and everyday life challenges by teaming up with caring therapists and horses. This type of therapy often reflects clients' verbal and nonverbal strengths and incongruencies while enhancing personal growth and development. This experiential, holistic approach works well with solution-focused therapy (SFT) and other evidence-based treatment modalities, e.g., ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR.

I offer therapy sessions in-person, on the world's softest sofa.
Answer the following questions. Do you feel sometimes alone and disconnected from others? Do you avoid sharing your needs and feeling to your partner?
Do you fear that your relationship will end? Are you afraid of rejection or abandonment?
If you said yes to any of these questions, you may be suffering from an insecure attachment. When a parent is not fully emotionally available to his/hear child's needs on a consistent basis, emotional problems can develop. That is why some clients really struggle in maintaining healthy relationships. Often these children who become adults, have a sever inner critic and a lot of self-blame.
