My passion is helping people build healthy and meaningful lives. I am a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist trained by Dr. Patrick Carnes, the pioneer in the field of sex addiction.

Do you find yourself trapped? Doing things that you never wanted to do? Is your child in trouble, withdrawn, angry, disrespectful, using drugs? Are you depressed, considering divorce? These are some of the problems I’ve been able to successfully assist people in addressing and overcoming. I have 30+ years of experience working with individuals, families, groups and couples. I’ve worked in inpatient hospitals, outpatient clinics and prison settings. I’ve worked with patient populations in substance abuse, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger management, sexual addiction, African-American and Hispanic populations

It is written, "Hope is an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." A popular image of an anchor symbolizes safety and stability. Many people - maybe even you - face terrible storms in their lives: addiction, abuse, fear, loss of relationships, joblessness, loneliness and more. In response to life's storms, people turn to compulsive sexual behavior, anger, substance abuse and food to soothe themselves. These "medications" not only do not work, but create chaos in our lives. Other ways of dealing with turmoil include lying, isolation and feelings of shame, guilt and worthlessness. I offer a refuge to chart a new course.

Imagine seeing squirrels scamper or hearing birds chirping during your therapy session. Or feeling the warm sunshine on your skin and fresh air in your lungs. If being in nature sounds more healing and less intimidating than sitting in an office, then walk and talk therapy may be just what you're looking for! Walking helps the brain to release "feel good" chemicals, helping to alleviate depression and anxiety and reduce stress. Walking decreases negative emotions and promotes mental clarity and positive thinking. It can boost self-esteem, increase energy, improve sleep quality, and allow you to reconnect with the natural world.

Holistic wellness is about finding a seat in a world increasingly marked by systemic barriers. Very often, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals aren't given seats at tables, or even welcomed into rooms that would make life more accessible. I see therapy as a folding chair—a portable, adaptable, and transformative support system that we unfold into our lives to create our own spaces to thrive. My ideal client is open, ready, and willing to work on themselves, name their inner demons, and resist the systemic barriers that have tried to dictate their paths.

*NO OPENINGS* Hello! I’m Fitz. I believe my role as a therapist is to help empower clients explore affirming opportunities for growth and define their own path to wellness. I acknowledge the inherent power dynamic in the therapeutic relationship and the harm this has/can cause. I orient myself in multicultural feminist and humanistic perspectives, engage in collaborative treatment planning, and acknowledge how multiple oppressions/identities impact folks’ experiences to help de-pathologize symptoms and re-center power in client’s hands. I am white, non-binary, queer, able-bodied and am committed to life-long anti-racism work.

Being human is fucking hard. You want to feel better, you want to live more authentically but you feel stuck. Trapped in old patterns and relationships; maybe you see the way out but can't quite break through. You've tried talk therapy before with some success, but need to get to the next level in your healing journey. I offer psychedelic integration and trauma informed therapy to help you heal. We'll work together to learn to feel all of your feelings, and be fully human-in all the messiness and beauty that comes with being a person.

It is wonderful that you decided to begin the process of finding a therapist. I think that it is vital that you find someone that is a good fit for you. It is important to create an environment that is free of judgment so that you can feel safe expressing yourself. The way we form our identity is complex, many roles play a factor including our environment, family history, current relationships, and lifestyle. Through the journey of life, events both positive and painful help to mold us. The path of healing and exploration into yourself can lead to a stronger, happier, healthier you.

We all need a little help navigating our lives sometimes. Whether you are facing day-to-day struggles such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, life transitions, and relationship/intimacy issues, or grappling with deeper existential questions about worldview, identity, climate change, and the state of the world, I am here to provide support and resources.
