Strategic Mental Resilience for High-Impact Professionals
My ideal client is a high-achieving corporate professional or military-connected person who appears composed on the surface but is privately navigating the internal friction of high functioning anxiety, historical trauma, or the complexities of a blended family. You may find yourself struggling with decision-making paralysis or invisible weight of past rejection and abandonment. You need a confidential, sophisticated sanctuary to stop "powering through" and start the process of genuine healing. Your goal is to reconcile unforgiveness and past hurdles to reclaim your authority

I am casual and tattooed, and that tends to work for most people... even if it's vastly different from how people picture a typical 'therapist'. I feel very privileged to work with members of the LGBTQ+ community and believe I offer a unique perspective as a trans man (that also happens to be a therapist). I really enjoy providing support to folks while they explore components of their authentic identities. I am comfortable working with folks that identify with being poly and/or kinky (No shaming here!).

If you’re stuck in chronic anxiety and depression, and in your head trying to think your way out by worrying, ruminating and obsessing, you know how painful and exhausting it can be. It can feel like your mind never shuts off—and no matter how hard you try, you can’t get back to the life you used to have and badly want back.
You’ve probably tried to figure it out, control it, or push through it but nothing seems to create lasting change. It’s because the strategies you’ve been using are actually reinforcing the cycle and worse, you are deepening into more anxiety, more depression and less connection to life.

Maybe you have some physical symptoms of anxiety and overwhelm, or as an adult, you keep experiencing triggers related to childhood or other past trauma.

What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
