It is an honor to walk with individuals through their most difficult, anxiety provoking and painful times in life- in a safe, non-judgmental, and non-biased atmosphere. My goal is to collaboratively identify personal strengths, extract meaning, utilize effective coping skills, and develop a new understanding of self, in order to help you get the most out of life. The therapeutic alliance is built on trust, immediacy, and honest, open communication. Even if the process is new to you - if you are ready to honestly face your life circumstances, fears, anxieties, and choices - I am ready to assist you.

Hi there! How brave of you to find yourself looking for some support, and I would love to hear your story. I approach counseling from an individualized perspective, because there's no one-size-fits-all answer for anyone! My clients describe me as being open, honest, direct, and caring.

I would love to welcome you to a genuine counseling relationship filled with authenticity, acceptance, and honestly, no-nonsense, which leads to a lot of laughs. Counseling doesn't have to be scary!

"SAFE HAVEN" was the exact words one of my first clients used to describe our time together. It was this sense of safety and connection that allowed her to explore life events that had previously kept her: isolated, fearful and angry. Our work together, incorporated directive based and open therapeutic art-making to help her share the burden of her trauma, understand how she was feeling in relation to what she had experienced and to facilitate forming a new sense of direction.

I work with adults, couples, children, and teenagers to help equip them with skills needed to thrive in life, and resolve conflict. As a parent and youth volunteer within the community, my heart is particularly for this young generation and the issues they face. Depression, anxiety, stress, and peer struggles threaten the emotional well-being of our kids. Sadly, suicide is now one of the leading causes of death for this age group. It’s imperative that our youth receive an outlet for their emotional stress and injury, and receive the coping skills to work through the obstacles they’ll face now and as adults.

I am passionate about working with those who suffer the effects of trauma, whether it be a one-time event, or many experiences that built up over time. My clients are brave enough to share their experiences with me, and in turn, I create a safe space for them to share in. We work together to understand and process what has happened in the past, what coping skills they have implemented to help them survive until now, and what we can do to best grow and move forward. My clients are the experts in their healing journey, but I will never leave them without the tools and support necessary to navigate that process.

Get your life back! Become the person you were made to be and finally live the life you’ve always dreamed of. Hi my name is Beau and I provide individual therapy for adult men and women and IFS Informed EMDR Consultations for Therapists. I know what it’s like to struggle. Early on in my life I struggled with anxiety and not fitting in. At some point, I began using drugs as a way to escape and lived a very unhealthy and unhappy lifestyle until I hit bottom. I turned my life around by getting help with a therapist (a very special person that held space for me and understood my pain without judging me).

I am a licensed professional counselor. I love what I do, and my motto is "I'm in the business of self-acceptance more than the business of self-improvement." When we shoot for and achieve self-acceptance, self trust, self love and self confidence organically emerge. We achieve these goals through a series of gentle but intentional conversations that lead to remarkable self discoveries.

Attending a counseling session may seem intimidating, or you may be questioning how helpful it is going to be. Many of these thoughts and feelings are common for people before they start. Our lives sometimes change in ways that are out of our control. Working with a counselor can help you take back control of your life and thrive in the new normal that life has given you.
