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.

Struggling with relationship difficulties, issues at work or school, addiction, or feeling overrun by your own thoughts? Maybe you want more clarity in life or want to find a new direction. You may be feeling stuck and having a hard time moving forward. It can be exhausting trying to muster up the energy to get out of bed and take care of your responsibilities and yourself. You may have thoughts you are not worthy or have a fractured sense of self. What would it feel like to have the energy and motivation to finally take on the day again, to feel worthy to live the life you want, or to smash those goals you have put off?

My ideal client is one who is searching for a deeper understanding of themselves as well as their relationships with the meaningful people in their world. Understanding the complexities of interpersonal dynamics is key to having healthy relationships with oneself, as well as others. My goal as a therapist is to create an atmosphere in which it is comfortable to explore old wounds as well as current interpersonal dynamics. In this work, it is my hope that insight will replace confusion as we embark on the road to a healthy and fulfilling life.

I work with both children and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, trauma, self-esteem issues, and major life transitions/planning. With younger populations, I teach developmentally appropriate skills for emotional regulation, problem-solving, and prosocial interaction; I partner with families to foster consistency and emotional safety within the home. In my work with teens and young adults we explore how concepts of identity, sexuality, self-image, and self-efficacy influence thoughts and behaviors. Together, we identify barriers to success and build on client strengths.

I believe every child and adolescent has the potential within themselves to become healthier and happier, and it is my job to help them unlock that potential. Traditional cognitive and behavioral approaches often fail to create meaningful change, which can lead to feelings of failure or discouragement rather than empowerment. Whether your child or adolescent is struggling with self-esteem, social challenges, or regulation skills, I can help them recognize and unlock the skills and strengths that they already have to over come those challenges.

I offer counseling for a variety of mental and emotional health issues, as well as general life, growth, and relationship topics.

I provide a safe environment where you can be open and honest and feel comfortable being yourself. I want you to experience true respect and positive regard when we are together.

I am casual and tattooed, and that tends to work for most people... even if it's vastly different from how people picture a typical 'therapist'. I feel very privileged to work with members of the LGBTQ+ community and believe I offer a unique perspective as a trans man (that also happens to be a therapist). I really enjoy providing support to folks while they explore components of their authentic identities. I am comfortable working with folks that identify with being poly and/or kinky (No shaming here!).
