Hello! I have over 25 years of experience & specialize in anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, self-regulation and recovery. I value in depth assessment which informs our process. Unlike some types of supportive counseling, I offer education about how life experiences are hardwired into our brains & how this impacts all aspects of life and our relationships. I also focus on teaching skills to transform anxiety and stress into resilience, calm, and increased joy. To do that, I use mindfulness, somatic/body-based skills, brainspotting, neurofeedback, psychedelic & ketamine - assisted psychotherapy, RRT, and nature-based connection.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) for the past 30 years serving diverse/multicultural populations that include adults and older adolescents My goal is to provide a safe and accepting environment where you feel comfortable to explore. discover and remove the blocks that have kept you trapped/struck from moving in the direction you desire. In my "toolbox," I employ various tech/strategies some of which you will learn to use on your own. I have been trained in a variety of modalities CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, IFS, and family systems therapy.

Offering Teletherapy in Most States: I primarily use IFS and behavioral treatments (ACT, DBT, CFT, RODBT) to emphasize acceptance of one's current experience, the development of skills (mindfulness, play, perspective, assertiveness, inquiry, and values), and use courage and experimentation to help promote change. I also help facilitate ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and I am strong advocate of developing the skill of compassion for oneself and others. Many of us struggle with finding a sense of being home with reality as it is, although that home is always available and may be easier to return to than assumed.

We're each gifted... We're each wounded... Nobody escapes the extraordinary challenges of being human. Seeking out a compassionate ally skilled in the process of healing is an important and courageous act, one that can lead to greater fulfillment, resiliency, self-esteem, and well-being. I work with adults of all ages who struggle with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, depression, LGBTQ, relationship issues, men's issue's, and spiritual and existential crises. I have extensive experience with young adults navigating the challenges of moving into greater self-knowledge, empowerment, and a life of their own.

"We are all just walking each other home." - Rumi Hello, I am Bo. I am a licensed psychotherapist, licensed clinical addiction specialist, and psychiatric social worker. Thank you for considering me as your clinician. I understand it is difficult to reach out for help. Right now, you may be navigating feelings of shame, embarrassment, and anger. I want you to know, I have been there too, in the middle of the storm, darkness all around. Sometimes in life and in our relationships we all can become "stuck".

Do you sense that there's more to life than you are experiencing? Or maybe you are in transition, or feel stuck in a rut you can't pull out of? You may also sense that you are a spiritual person living a human life, and you want to integrate all of these parts of yourself and improve the quality of your life? No matter what stage of adulthood you are in, you get to live in alignment with your highest values. As a Buddhist/Mindfulness teacher, I will bring an "embodied presence" to our sessions to connect with you and support you in moving forward to live a meaningful spiritual, human life.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, acceptance, and mindfulness. I am an expert in the field of post-traumatic growth and am skilled in working with trauma and addiction. I am passionate about helping people manage distress and to connect with meaning and purpose in life. I strive to be genuine and authentic, incorporating humor and warmth to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and respectful space for healing. I am committed to facilitating a transformative experience which will help you to deepen and make desired changes to truly thrive in your life.

It’s not necessary to be in crisis to seek counseling, but it’s often the push that we need to go deeper. Something wakes us from our auto pilot existence and we feel a hunger for self-examination. Whatever made you take this next step, I believe I can help. I know this can feel overwhelming...but its just another part of the journey. A search for your authentic self or for a balanced, healthy space to challenge yourself to grow and be more. You can be changed by this experience. You will find answers and more questions... But nothing changes & no discoveries are made without beginning...Read more at www.createamindfullife.com

When certain parts of our life feel outside of our control, it creates stress that impacts other parts of our life. Seeking help can feel like an additional stress. Not only do you have to find someone that you feel like is a good personality match, but you are expected to tell your story to someone you don’t know. That can be a hard thing to ask of someone.

It is natural for us to encounter bumps in the road every now and then. But sometimes, those bumps feel like mountains and it can feel like we’re stuck. I am here to walk with you and help you move forward in times like these. I believe deeply in the power of human connection in the path to healing and self-compassion. I understand the vulnerability that it can take to seek therapy. My goal in our work together is to create a safe space where you can bring your whole, authentic self. My work as a therapist is grounded in a client-centered approach, meaning that your goals will guide our work together.

Deepening our relationship with ourself naturally transforms our relationships with others, as well as with the world around us... and I love supporting you in this process. I offer encouraging and inquisitive presence as we work together to resource your nervous system, deepen self-attunement, and cultivate resilience during times of stress, grief, life transitions, relationship changes and spiritual explorations. I specialize in helping my clients identify and express their needs and wants as well as learn to establish and hold healthy boundaries in order to experience more empowered and connective relationships.

Are you ready to heal old conditioning and live a life of conscious awareness? Do you practice presence and find life’s challenges, internal and external, derail your experience of oneness and wholeness? Often difficult feelings and thoughts contain the seeds to grow the full expression of our consciousness, our true nature. Traditional and non-traditional therapeutic modalities worked for me and can work for you in healing old conditioned thinking and fears to move through this challenging time and live life from your natural state. Your challenges are here for you not against you, a beacon to guide you home.

I believe that we live in challenging times. Many people find it difficult to feel confident and self assured, have peaceful, fulfilling relationships, navigate the demands of finances, family, work and home, and also focus on nourishing self care. These challenges are interconnected. They are related to how we have developed our sense of self in the context of family expectations and experiences, societal demands, cultural assumptions, and media influence. It is necessary for all of us to learn how to live our best lives in these particular circumstances. You are not alone.

Wholeness leads to healing. I guide my clients to accept all parts of themselves and find balance in their lives. I entered the field of counseling with a passion for treating trauma (big T and little t trauma). Along the way I gathered some exceptional tools for doing so, including EMDR and a somatic approach to psychotherapy. Not so far removed from trauma, I have also developed a specialty in treating addiction of all kinds. I have seen the power of emotional healing to transform people's lives in ways they always wanted but didn't know how. I am here to help whenever the client is ready to do that brave and powerful work.

Navigating the complexities of the human experience, your relationship to connection and meaning feels complicated and often challenging. You might be feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, sad and/or a little lost. You want to get un-stuck, or slow down, or feel more connected. You’ve been trying for a long time, and it’s been really hard. I see you. You make sense to me. You don't have to bear that burden alone.

Hello! I believe that each one of us comes into this world with particular strengths and gifts to offer. Through the turmoil, loss, and pain we face, we often become disconnected from our true and whole self, losing sight of these strengths and gifts. In our work together, my goal is to provide a safe and therapeutic container for you to explore what is blocking you from your joy, supporting and guiding you in reclaiming your whole self.

I’m guided by my belief in the eternal worth and inherent wisdom of each person. Each individual is the expert of their own experience, and, within each of us, lies an immense power for self-healing. My therapeutic style can be described as warm, collaborative, and experiential. I view my role in this process as a facilitator, working alongside individuals as they reflect upon their experiences, broaden their awareness, and investigate ongoing behavioral patterns. Together, we may begin to freely explore prevailing paradigms and construct a more personalized path forward.

I believe there are many ways to achieve well-being and recovery. Presence, patience, compassion, acceptance, and curiosity are some of the qualities I possess. I believe competent therapy is a co-creation between the client and therapist and pride myself in embodying everything I expect of my clients. I'm passionate about stewarding people to create greater acceptance, balance, inner attunement and well-being in their lives. I specialize in all addiction disorders (i.e. substance use disorders, behavioral addictions such as problematic sexual behaviors, porn, food, internet gaming, etc.) and/or co-occurring disorders.

Freedom, joy, connection, and peace are our natural state of being. They happen on their own when our bodies feel safe and supported enough to release painful past experiences that keep us stuck in distressing patterns. We feel unable to relax and are busy and burnt out. Being truly seen and loved and feeling belonging are deep desires for us, but seem unfulfillable. Instead, we resort to self improvement. Expressing our boundaries, feelings, and needs with others isn't easy. We often feel anxious, sad, shameful, numb, or alone. Triggers or physical symptoms intrude in our lives regularly. Our bodies don't feel at home.
