Life can be hard, with many ups and downs, all the unknowns, especially in today’s world. My passion is helping those with anxiety and depression, providing high-quality, effective, evidence-based treatment with children, adolescents, and adults. I’ve worked as a licensed therapist for 20 years and my practice uses an outside the box approach when it comes to therapy.

I believe psychotherapy can be transformational. In my 20 years as a psychologist, I've noticed a few key components to my work: I approach every new client with unconditional positive regard. I am empathic and supportive, yet direct and focused. I use humor often and laugh a lot. I am an active, conversational therapist. I use a team-oriented approach and keep communication flowing between parents, teachers and counselors. I specialize in working with men ages 16+ for Depression, Anxiety, ADHD and Relationships. I am goal oriented, meet my clients where they are and love my job. I approach every client with kindness an compassion.

Are you feeling like you are always trying to fit into someone's else box, the version of your life that others have for you, hoping that by doing so you will finally gain acceptance and validation? You have recognized that this is a no-win situation which only produces vacillating feelings of anxiety and depression which rob you of the life you know could be yours. You are ready for change but don't know where to start. Your biggest fear that that this would be another in a series of "starts". However, your desire to live your best life is pushing you to take a chance on change, but who will walk with you?

Life oftentimes can be stressful, sometimes can be surprising - but life is rarely simple. At times, we find ourselves wrestling with anxiety that makes life feel impossible. Perhaps feelings of depression have made finding happiness difficult. We also can be overloaded with stress, feel stuck, or notice changes we would like to make in order to thrive. I believe that you know yourself best, and hope to recognize your own personal wisdom that may guide you to your best self.

For me, therapy is about creating a nonjudgemental space where you feel comfortable to express whatever it is that you took time out of your week to talk about. In our sessions, we will work together to identify your goals and develop strategies to achieve them. My goal is to help you discover the tools and insights needed to navigate life with greater ease and confidence. I have extensive experience working with the 2SLGBTQ+ community, neurodivergence, chronic pain, HIV, and other chronic health issues.

Most people love what they are good at and are good at what they love. I love being a therapist. I have been professionally involved in psychology for 40 years, and it remains one of my principal passions. When I look into my heart and grasp what has mattered most in my life, I have a deep sense of gratitude for the people I've helped. I chose psychology as a profession not only because it matches my temperament but also because it's a profession that can be developed over a lifetime and improved with age and experience.

You’re the kind of person who sets a goal and doesn’t stop until it’s achieved. From academic milestones to a thriving career, you’ve consistently exceeded expectations. But behind this success lies a different story—moments of intense self-doubt, a constant worry that you’re not “enough,” and a struggle to connect with others authentically. Despite looking polished on the outside, you feel isolated, drained, and anxious, as if you're running on empty just to keep up the facade.

Many people have the assumptions that, "If I get married and have children and amass possessions, prestige, and power, then I will be happy with my life." Yet our perceptions, appraisals, and interpretations of our own lives, relationships, career, expectations, and dreams influence our emotional well being. Often we have questions such as "What is life all about? What will bring happiness to my life? Who am I? What is meaningful to me in life."

There are times in our lives when we need someone safe and objective to talk to. I believe that we have the answers within us and I strive to create a place of safety where you are free to express your hopes and desires. Many times we have themes in our life that recycle in and out. As an objective observer I can gently point those out. At times we may focus too intently on what is "wrong" or missing when we must first start where we are and make peace with who we are.

Parenting adolescents is challenging. As your teen gets older, they may show signs of struggling in some or many areas of their lives. You may notice personality changes, or they no longer have the same interests or no longer seem motivated. You’ve read books, tried different strategies and tried to communicate with your teen, but there has not been sustained change. You know that your teen has potential, but how do you help them find it? Looking for outside help, can be a scary step, with many questions. Will someone be able to connect with my teen, am I able to trust that person/will my teen be able to?
