Please note: morning & midday availability only .......... Change is not easy. Whether you're needing to experience relief from anxiety, depression, past trauma, or a current difficult situation, counseling can help bring us out of stagnation and onto the path of change in a compassionate and non-judgmental atmosphere. I enjoy helping people identify what thoughts and behaviors are helpful in building satisfying lives and which may have once proved useful, but no longer work for them. Taking small steps, while being kind to ourselves when we make mistakes, can create the kind of change that we want to see in our lives.

Are you the one everyone counts on, but feel like you are running on empty? You keep going, stay calm in chaos, and carry more than most people know. If you are a first responder, veteran, healthcare worker, or high-stress professional, you have likely learned to put your own needs last. Underneath the strength, you may feel anxious, numb, disconnected, or burned out. Therapy gives you space to slow down, process what you have been carrying, and start healing in a way that works for you.

Do people say you’ve got it all together, while inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or full of self-doubt? Do you overthink decisions, replay conversations, or suddenly remember something you said three days ago and feel your stomach drop a little? Do you apologize a lot, work hard not to hurt anyone’s feelings, and keep the peace even when it means setting yourself aside? Maybe you feel confident alone, but around others you shrink, feel awkward, or out of place. You tell yourself you should be fine — yet you’re exhausted from holding it all together. If so, it may be time to pause and ask: "What do I truly need right now?"

My goal is to help people lead happier more content lives. Counseling is just like life in that you get out of it what you put into it. Counseling requires courage. In going through the difficult parts though, you will come out stronger and more capable of living the life you desire. I can’t “fix” you (you’re not broken even if it feels that way). What I’ll do is work along with you to get through those tough things that are going on inside or around you.

Balancing the demands of a high-powered career, family, and cultural expectations can feel like carrying an invisible, exhausting weight. From the outside, you look ok—providing for your loved ones, navigating professional spaces with excellence, and showing up as the rock for your family. But inside, the compounding pressure of stress, unresolved trauma, or cycles of addictive behaviors may be quietly straining your well-being and your closest relationships. True strength lies in choosing a different path. I provide a confidential, culturally responsive, pace tailored specifically for high-achieving men like you.

Life can be stressful, down right overwhelming at times. “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”-Helen Keller. During these times when things become too difficult to manage on our own, counseling can help with learning healthier ways to cope, expressing deep emotions in a safe environment, working on goals, and reaching your potential. My years of experience related to the field are focused on assisting clients with trauma processing, developing a sense of purpose, disordered eating, reducing anxiety, and improving self-esteem.
