Asking for help is fucking hard. But let's be real, what you're doing now isn't necessarily easy either... lying awake replaying conversations wondering if you sounded weird. Rewriting the same message three times before hitting send. Creating fake emergencies to bail out on plans last minute. Assuming someone's mad at you because they didn’t respond right away. You don’t have to keep spiraling like this. You can learn to stop getting pulled into every anxious thought your brain throws at you.

There are those times in our lives when our discomfort with ourselves or others, just becomes too uncomfortable and you need to take an action that would solve the problem once and for all. Psychotherapy is that action. Confiding in someone who is respectful and competent, in that they can clarify your issues, right from the first session, can make your stress, no matter how high the stress, seem solvable. I am that therapist.
Once clarity is reached, understanding and solving problems follow. Individual, couple or full family issues are addressed.

If things look fine on the outside but don’t feel that way on the inside, I’d be glad to help.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware. They’ve already done a lot of reflecting. But they still find themselves dealing with anxiety, low moods, familiar reactions, or repeating patterns in relationships that don’t simply change just because they understand them.

Reaching out to a therapist can feel intimidating, especially if you are used to handling things on your own. Many people who contact me are the ones others rely on. You may understand everyone else’s feelings but feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of yourself when you are alone.
I do not see you as broken. I see patterns that once helped you adapt, stay safe, or belong. Overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, or always being the strong one often made sense at some point. In therapy we slow down and gently notice what is happening in the present moment so you can understand yourself rather than fight yourself.

As a Mental Health professional I was always sensitive to individuals' needs and oriented to help them overcome difficulties in their lives. I understand asking for help is a difficult step. Building and maintaining a positive therapeutic relationship based on trust and confidence is essential in interaction with my clients.

Life can be increasingly difficult to manage in our current social and economic environment. It can feel increasingly difficult to cope with life’s stressors as we struggle with our relationships as well as our own feelings of self-worth. Feelings of depression and anxiety can easily take hold of us, becoming increasingly dangerous to our wellbeing. There are times that it becomes increasingly important for us to have someone to turn to for support in times of despair. The way we feel about ourselves very often defines our relationships with others.

Just like my clients, I am a person/clinician, with many layers. Starting my career from the basis of a counseling degree rooted in trauma, I've worked with a spectrum of disorders since 2016. If you decide to make the empowered choice to step into this safe space you'll be met with my humor, specialized treatment in ADHD/ADD, use of dialectical behavior therapy & other modalities, and care for borderline personality disorders, women's issues, and relationship issues. With neurodivergent-friendly tactics, I can help clients to set and reach goals based on their own specialized parameters.

Do you ever feel a deep longing to live differently—to experience more fulfillment and connection—yet find yourself caught in the same painful patterns? Do you sometimes feel like you’re living in a body that has been shaped by trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, or chronic illness? In therapy, you will learn to experience strong emotions without losing your sense of self—and to allow space for others to do the same. You’ll develop the ability to respond thoughtfully rather than react in ways that fuel defensiveness, blame, isolation, or ongoing conflict.

Hi, I'm Aaron - I'm really glad you're here! Maybe you're someone who's always holding space for others but rarely receives that same care in return. Or perhaps you're navigating uncertainty, trying to make sense of who you are or who you're becoming. Whatever brings you here, you deserve a place where you can exhale, be fully yourself, and do the meaningful work of healing. I'm a queer therapist and social worker who believes in showing up as a real human first. I take a collaborative, tailored approach, partnering with you to build our work together rather than telling you what to do. I'm genuinely on your team.

I bring warmth, humor, and real talk into the room, helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s messier moments with clarity and connection.
