If you are seeking to regain who you once were, uncover who you know you could be, become who you want to be, build on who you already are, or all the above, we can do that together. Life is something that just is; we are what happens in it. I work with you to reclaim what may seem out of your control, to step back into the driver's seat of your own life. We all struggle at times and it is not about how strong or weak we are, but how much support we have.

“Meet the client where they’re at” is my guiding principle. Trauma is complex, but when we talk about it, we begin to take our lives back, no matter what part of our journey we’re living. I imagine you’re scrolling through therapists, glancing at the different faces, and now you’re feeling into this therapist. You feel vulnerable and if you’re honest- nervous, scared, and anxious. How can I trust a person I’ve never met with the pain I’ve never spoken about? You may feel shame, and you made an unspoken agreement with yourself to never speak of what happened to you. Contacting a therapist is an act of courage. I applaud you.

I am here to support you on your journey of healing and growth. I truly believe that we each have the power to heal ourselves and live meaningful lives full of depth, joy and love. I am a Core Energetics practitioner and I will help you to integrate body, mind and emotions. Core energetics is a body-oriented psychotherapy that works with a person's emotional blocks, often held in the body. Life can be more joyful when old pain is released through energetic movement. We bring consciousness to old patterns to free ourselves and make lasting changes.

Hello Everybody! I specialize in supporting the mental health of people for whom dominant culture is not a good fit. Over the years, the mainstay of my clients identify as: LGBTQIA+, autistic / otherwise neuro-divergent, BIPOC, having medical needs or are differently physicially-abled, as having intellectual / developmental / learning disabilities, having esoteric / magick / minority religious practitioners (and many times, some combination of the above). I focus on helping people working through C-PTSD, those who are part of minority sexual communities (Queer, Kinky, Non-Monogamous, etc.),

"Get busy living, or get busy dying." If you haven't seen Shawshank Redemption, maybe you should. Maybe it's just me, but reading all the profiles here seems a bit tedious since we are all essentially saying the same things. As an Army Veteran and a solution-focused pragmatist, I like to cut to the chase. The bottom line is that we've ALL survived something in our lives and fall into one of two basic categories; either those who just don't die or those who come back to living. So which category are you in?

In addition to my private practice, much of my career has been in community mental health where I’ve provided direct clinical services, as well as clinical supervision and worked in administration.

It’s said that recovery is an inside job. We begin by distancing ourselves from the destructive forces that are bent on killing us—if you understand what I’m talking about you’re in the right place. Once addiction loses its grip on us we gain the freedom to access our own inner wisdom and let life’s challenges become our teachers. Free from the influence of mood and mind altering substances we become empowered to make choices not based on the immediate need to escape our emotions, but rather aligned with our deepest desires for ourselves. Through this process you can begin to re-write the narrative of your past.

While there are many psychotherapy modalities, I feel that the most important ingredient in the therapeutic process is the ability of the therapist to attune to the individual who is seeking help. This means truly listening with an open heart and conveying empathic understanding. I see psychotherapy as a dyadic process where therapist and client collaboratively work together to bring about desired healing and growth. My role as an experienced facilitator is to utilize my skills and knowledge to guide a way forward toward health and well being.

Currently, I have availability in mid to late afternoon from Tuesday to Friday. I specialize in supporting children, adolescents and adults with a particular focus on neurodiversity. Looking at the client as an individual goes hand-in-hand with examining the relationships and environments a client fits into. I strive to help my clients achieve a greater sense of control over internal challenges while building skills and confidence to address and interact with the external.

When moving through life's difficulties, it can be hard to remember our innate goodness, let alone act from that place to meet the challenges of these complex times. Clients come to me with a variety of concerns - anxiety, relationship struggles, depression, and the real stress of simply being human in such uncertain times. This journey is about feeling better, and it's also about evolving and deepening our relationship with ourselves, our loved ones, and the whole world.

My approach to therapy begins by recognizing that good mental health is different for each person, and each person’s therapeutic goals will necessarily be unique. I believe that deep down we know what we need, and much of the healing work in therapy is in connecting to this authentic and deep knowledge of the self, learning to trust it, and working to overcome barriers to living our best lives. I’ve worked with people of all ages, but I have a special interest in working with young adults, helping them navigate the sometimes trickly road into independence and thriving.

I believe successful counseling experiences begin through relationship. Prior to transitioning to the field of counseling I worked extensively within the criminal justice system. I thought that I might have an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals who have faced various challenges in life. I use individually tailored counseling tools such as brief psychodynamic exploration, mindfulness training, emotional freedom techniques (EFT), narrative, breathwork, goal setting, and solution focus to offer clients an opportunity to look deep within themselves for answers to life’s questions.

It is always interesting beginning therapy with a Client - your unique set of circumstances has resulted in feelings, thoughts, issues and maybe symptoms. Together, as we begin to understand what you're experiencing, it is equally fascinating to join you on the journey of exploring options and goals. You may feel more empowered as you figure out short and long-term changes. I look forward to helping you with this process, using all of the experiences and tools that are relevant.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
