Welcome! I hope you aren't too overwhelmed by this process. It took me months to find my first therapist, but it was worth it! I specialized in seeing adults with anxiety and trauma issues. Please know that there is hope to feel better. I'm a regular guy, a nerd, a Dad, an athlete (Jiu Jitsu), socially awkward, and I love Wes Anderson movies and Star Wars. It's fine to ask for help, we all need a hand once in a while.
I use a therapy called EMDR to target the source of stress, anxiety, and trauma. We work through the triggers for upsetting thoughts and feelings, replacing old patterns with new ones. Think of it as an update that scans a computer for bugs and installs an operating system that runs smoothly.
I offer my clients the best therapy experience I can. This starts by respecting the people who reach out to me by returning emails and phone calls! If I can't help you I'll do my best to point you in the right direction. Just reach out and we'll talk soon, if we can work together that's great!

I use a therapy treatment called EMDR. The first visit is getting to know each-other after you fill out the cloud based intake forms on your phone or computer. The next visit, we start identifying past, present, and future stressors, and work on calming techniques. In following visits we continue to work on ways to cope with stress and the underlying issues.
