Using a trauma-informed, integrative approach, I draw from EMDR, Brainspotting, Schema Therapy, DBT, CBT, ERP, Narrative Therapy, Creative/Expressive Arts modalities and nutrition-based insights—tailored to each person’s
My primary therapeutic goal is to support individuals, in their journey towards healthy and sustainable growth, including resolution of any past trauma. My approach is grounded in collaboration. I recognize that life can bring periods of feeling stuck, disconnected, being caught in patterns of avoidance, anxiety, and discontentment. In response, I offer a trauma-informed, intermodal framework that incorporates creative and expressive arts therapies alongside evidence-based practices. Together, we work to build skills that foster intentional growth and healing from past experiences, empowering clients to move toward in their goals.

I have extensive experience with Psychodynamic therapy and Schema therapy.
Do you struggle with relationships, career, family, loneliness? Unfulfilling relationships, substance use, depression/anxiety and career challenges are often the catalysts that bring many people to my practice. While painful, these motivators to therapy can lead to lasting change. It is my strong belief that it is the relationship or therapeutic alliance between client and therapist that ultimately heals. I conduct psychotherapy through a Gay/LGBTQ-affirmative and a culturally humble framework. ​​

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including schema therapy, transformational chair work, and trauma-focused therapy, tailored to get to the heart of the issue and help you regain a sense of agency in your life.
My specialty is working with people in transition, on the cusp between the past and the future. What worked before, works no more...or maybe it never did, really. So now what? I'm here to help you make decisions and take action so you feel in charge of your own life again (or for the first time).

We can't always choose our burdens, but we can choose how we carry them. Some of us learned the only way to protect ourselves was to isolate, not getting out of bed, endlessly scrolling, and pulling away from the world. Some learned to be on alert, plan for the worst, be ready to fight, and never let their guard down. The good news is we aren't destined to repeat the same patterns for the rest of our lives. Learning to trust ourselves and protect ourselves in healthy ways rather than harmful ways is possible and more available than we think. I have many years of experience with psychedelic integration therapy & integrating NOSC.

My approach weaves together IFS, Polyvagal Theory, and schema therapy in a trauma-informed way.
There may be parts of you that still feel stuck in the past. I specialize in helping people who’ve learned to function through anxiety, trauma, and depression, but are ready for more than just coping. Maybe you notice yourself shutting down in certain situations, becoming overwhelmed by anxiety, or reacting in ways you don’t fully understand. You want to feel more connected: to yourself, to others, and to the present moment. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, listen to the parts of you that are still holding pain, and begin building a life that feels grounding, safe, and fully yours.

I primarily practice Schema Therapy, which combines CBT (the "gold standard" for treating anxiety & depression) with psychodynamic therapy (which explores the influence of the past on present life).
Welcome! I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) specializing in anxiety, depression, stress management and substance use. My practice serves adults age 25+ from various walks of life. I’m especially passionate about supporting those with demanding careers and leadership roles who wish to create a better work-life balance and improve their overall health. In our therapy sessions, we'll form connections between past formative experiences and present patterns. I often work with people amidst some kind of transition: divorce, parenting challenges (eg. empty nesters), new career roles, and so on.

I've observed that Schema Therapy and Humanistic methods enhance our capacity to discover meaning and true fulfillment in life by helping us understand the origins of our current symptoms and transforming unhealthy, self-defeating behaviors.
Life can resemble a journey filled with straight paths, unexpected curves, and occasional detours. There are moments when we might feel lost, encounter dead ends, or navigate through uncertainty. During these times, having a supportive co-pilot can be invaluable in helping us stay focused on our goals.

Are you a depressed dad? Do you feel like you’re running on empty? Are you trying to hold everything together for your family while silently struggling?

If you’re a dad battling depression, you’re not alone—even if it feels that way. Maybe you’ve convinced yourself to just push through, but the exhaustion, frustration, and guilt keep piling up.
