I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention to help people find relief.
Anxiety and OCD are my areas of expertise. While at one point your energy, thoughtfulness and persistence served you and helped you to accomplish things, perhaps you've noticed these patterns and behaviors take on a life of their own. Now you might be more fearful, doubtful, and engaging in avoidance. What used to bring you joy is now being perceived as a chore or a threat. You want peace of mind and freedom to enjoy what's right in front of you without being consumed by all the what ifs and other worst case scenarios. You recognize that the anxiety that used to serve you is now being used against you and you're tired of it.

My main purpose as a therapist is to help clients discover what they want and help them get there. My background in theater and improvisational work has informed my theoretical approach to remain open to the moment and allow clients the space to participate in their experiences without judgement. I use several modalities including Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Experiential Role Playing, among others, to assist clients in examining how limiting beliefs about themselves and the world may be holding them back.

I work with adult clients with various backgrounds and experiences focusing on concerns of depression, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, cultural and LGBTQ+ identity, sexuality, burnout, life transitions, and self- acceptance.
Do you sometimes worry if who you are is "wrong," stuck focusing on harmful messages or unrealistic expectations? Do you feel a little lost in who you are and what you want, then find thinking about it gets overwhelming? If there are times when life feels heavy or you feel like hiding away until you're "put together," you are not alone. It helps to have a space to put life's many complexities aside - to take the rules, systemic barriers, and needs of yourself and others, put them all down, breathe, and unpack. Looking for that space is a big step. I'm here to create that space with you.

Hey! I'm Dylan,
Life can sometimes feel like a juggling act, leaving us overwhelmed by the many roles we take on—parent, partner, professional, friend—and in the process, we can lose sight of who we truly are. You might find yourself feeling stuck, disconnected, or struggling to meet the expectations placed upon you by society, others, or even yourself. I want you to know that you don’t have to face this alone. My approach integrates an understanding of intersectionality, recognizing that each person’s identity, culture, and experiences shape their journey. I am passionate about helping clients uncover their authentic selves.

I am passionate about helping clients uncover their authentic selves.
I use effective, proven tools from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches to guide both individuals and couples toward their chosen destinations.
Engaging in therapy is an important commitment and can be difficult to fit in with the rest of life's responsibilities. Perhaps you've tried therapy before and found it unhelpful, or worry that constant engagement in therapy is required for lasting change. Trying to cope with the aftermath of trauma, or the way anxiety symptoms can disrupt a day, or having the same fight again and again with a partner can seem to take all of your energy and motivation. Life is often stressful and chaotic, and the times when we feel most stretched thin are the times we need the most support and change.

Our circumstances don't define who we are. We can learn how to cope with and even transform our anxiety and trauma into greater resilience and compassion. We can cultivate acceptance and joy as a skill. While there are a lot of things in life that we cannot control. We do have a choice in how we respond. We can learn to navigate challenges with greater ease. Therapy is about stepping into our power and becoming the best version of ourselves. It's learning how to develop and train the brain to create a happier, healthier life and world.

I believe in using evidence based approaches in my work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I know how hard it is to seek help when you’re struggling. I get it because I've been there too. You deserve to live fully. You deserve better than scheduling problems, long drives, big bills, and weak outcomes. Maybe you’re afraid it will take years of counseling just to start feeling better. I believe therapy should be a lot more than learning how to cope or survive something. It should help you achieve your goals, thrive in relationships, and live more fully.
