Do you feel as though you are just coasting through life? Do you want to be more engaged and grounded in your experiences? When life becomes too hectic and confusing, we often feel frustrated, angry, and alone, and wonder “What is the point.” There is another way, another perspective! By utilizing your strengths, you will emerge from each session with a renewed curiosity and excitement for what is possible. You deserve a place where you can articulate the thoughts you crowd out as quickly as possible because of self-doubt, life traumas, or even just a sense of “Why bother.” You deserve the time to explore!

My ideal client would be someone who is prepared to complete tasks that are agreed upon in-session between the client and the therapist. The client would complete these tasks, on their own, away from the session, and would review the results in the next weekly session. I believe that any change that is made in a client's life, even the tiniest, has the potential to be a positive force for overall change. These series of small changes can build momentum, session to session, that ultimately empowers the client to live the life that they want to live. I believe in the power of therapy to provide recovery for anyone who tries.

Wellness and empowerment are two (of many) words I root my work with clients, as I have seen how they can further clients progress towards their goals. I see you as your own agent for change and I also strive to assist in their ability to further your understanding of self. You may hear me quickly speak to topics of internal dialogue, self-care, and stress management, as we assess wellness through a bio-psycho-social model (how biological, psychological and social aspects of our life intertwine in mental health). I also value the importance of how trauma can impact our present self, exploring it's impact on emotional regulation.

You’ve spent so much time prioritizing others that you’ve lost sight of yourself. Maybe you’ve endured emotional abuse, struggled with a narcissistic partner, or felt trapped in toxic family dynamics. You’ve read the books, tried to set boundaries, and told yourself things would change—but somehow, you always end up back in the same cycle. Speaking up feels impossible, and survival mode has become your default. You’re exhausted from walking on eggshells and wondering if your needs even matter. Deep down, you know you deserve more, but breaking free from old patterns feels overwhelming. You know it’s time to reclaim your voice.

Ken has always enjoyed helping others with their anxieties and interpersonal challenges and finds it particularly rewarding as a counselor when clients move towards healing and wholeness in their relationships. His relational approach and gentle demeanor provide a non-threatening atmosphere for clients to explore the “hard” places of life and discover meaningful ways to address them. While Ken has experience with a variety of therapeutic needs, his passion lies with interpersonal challenges – including pre-marital and marital conflict, children experiencing trauma, as well as guiding clients through the process of forgiveness.

You don’t have to keep living this way. If your emotions feel overwhelming, your relationships feel intense or unstable, or you keep repeating patterns you can’t seem to change, you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me after trying therapy before and feeling like it didn’t fully help. This is for people who need more than weekly therapy. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, trauma, impulsive behaviors, and relationship difficulties, including borderline personality traits, PTSD, and substance use.

Let's not sugarcoat it, life is tough. Whether you've just experienced a traumatic event, are struggling to process a past traumatic event, or you're finding yourself to be uncertain of long-held beliefs. The therapy I offer combines traditional therapy styles such as CBT and DBT, while also incorporating somatic work. If you sometimes have feelings in your body that you don't understand, somatic therapy helps you to connect your emotions with your body so that you can fully understand and embrace yourself as you find your inner healing. I like to be conversational in approach while also teaching coping mechanisms and skillsets.

You’re thoughtful and self-aware, yet often weighed down by a harsh inner critic and constant pressure to “get it right.” You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself—unsure where to begin, but knowing something needs to change. Maybe your relationship with food or your body feels complicated. Maybe your mind never slows down. Maybe you’re exhausted from trying to manage it all—and still feel like it’s not enough. My work focuses on supporting college-aged and adult women who are navigating eating disorders and disordered eating, body image concerns, trauma, anxiety, and self-worth challenges.
