I provide an eclectic approach, primarily utilizing behavioral, humanistic, psycho-spiritual, and inner child modalities – with a specialization in complex trauma, shadow work, generational patterns, and the journey to authenticity. My practice is person-centered, meaning that I’m a guide in your exploration of self – I may be nudging and pointing things out, but you, as the client, are ultimately leading where we go. My goal is to enrich and point out the positive traits that you already possess, and offer acknowledgment into aspects of yourself or your circumstances that you maybe haven’t seen yet.

Seeking help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. Life at times can be very demanding and can cause us to feel hopeless, stressed, depressed and defeated. This is a safe place where those individuals esp. Men can come to express, explore and process all feelings and behaviors. Taking the step to becoming a better you is never easy, as change can take some time getting used to. I like to consider getting started with this journey a major accomplishment, as you have proceeded to become whole again.

As a clinician, I believe in meeting clients where they are, identifying their strengths and barriers, in order to assist in developing a personalized plan for treatment and life management. I do not believe in a “cookie-cutter” method, and I am very open to exploring new methods and using multiple approaches to help each client individually. I assist my clients with understanding their behavior patterns and the changes they want to make while in treatment. Being in therapy means some form of change. Change can be different from client to client because each client has unique needs.

Finding a new therapist can be a difficult task -- I offer a free consultation to help with the choosing process. In my practice, I respect that people are naturally resilient, even in the face of adversity and world-changing events. However, maybe you need help working through feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, or other unpleasant moods. Perhaps you’re negotiating a transition into or out of a relationship, job, or life phase. You may even be in the process making meaning of events or are exploring nuanced identity possibilities. Whatever the concern, I will listen with compassion, presence, and knowledge.

Now more than ever taking good care of our mental health is important. I strive to create a safe and non- judgmental place where my clients may explore their feelings, work through past or present concerns, learn new coping skills, manage anxiety provoking thoughts and grow to be the best version of themselves. Therapy can seem like an overwhelming process and I am sure to meet the client where they are and work at the pace of their choosing.

Are you excited to chat about your sex addiction, porn addiction & intimacy issues? If you said "yes," you'd be the first. Unfortunately, these issues may be running your life. And that corrosive shame deep in your bones? It's likely rooted in trauma (I'll be shocked if it's not). Fortunately, through attachment work, EMDR & other modalities, we can heal emotional wounds and move you toward recovery & wholeness. I also work with couples because I learned in grad school that, apparently, relationships are hard. There's infidelity, betrayal trauma, mismatched libidos, the fact that your partner talks to his mom eight times a day…

Do you need more self-awareness, personal growth, and intentional change? If you're seeking support in overcoming obstacles that are holding you back from where you want to be in your life, we may be a great fit for a therapeutic relationship. My style is compassionate and authentic. I create a warm, safe space and bring a genuine listening ear (laughs are also welcomed) to each session. I believe in gently challenging clients in both thoughts and behaviors because I know you're strong enough to handle it, and sometimes we need a little push to highlight our perspectives.

Many of us seek out therapy for different reasons; to gain better insight about ourselves and others, to be able to see the bigger picture more clearly, or to meet specific goals. I aim to offer a space where you can share without holding back, and without judgment, and where we can collaborate in gaining insight into impactful, long-held patterns and beliefs.

Are you feeling like it's finally time to discover if you have ADHD? Or get serious about living with the ADHD you've ignored? People see you as confident and hard-working, but on the inside you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, worried that any day now, people will see the "real" you and be disappointed. You've spent years working to build a solid reputation, but can't shake the voice in your head convincing yourself to do just one more thing to achieve success. Sitting amongst the debris of yet another new project, you're tired from the hustle and starting to lose hope that anything could be different. It's time for a change.
