I'm only taking telehealth clients at this time. I help clients honor their past, find their voice, and create their future. It's important that my clients feel valued and respected. My commitment to you is simple: to hold an open non-judgmental space where you may reflect, learn, and grow while feeling supported, safe, and gently challenged. Eventually our discoveries will become a part of your inner voice. You'll be able to notice patterns, challenge your thoughts, and consistently live according to your ideal values. You will become your own advocate. Our work will be together, but your success will be yours.

Life can be incredibly difficult, even in the best of times, due to everyday challenges or simply existing as your authentic self. For some, this may look like a relationship with multiple partners, being aromantic or asexual, having a relationship with yourself, learning more about yourself and how you engage in sexuality via integrating kink, or simply existing in life in a marginalized body - be it race, gender, sexuality, weight, ability status, or any number of visible and invisible characteristics for which broader society struggles to make space.

Does your child complain of stomach aches? Say they don't want to go to school? Do they struggle to sleep? Are they having issues with their siblings or other people? Is there a history of trauma? Do you feel at an impasse? Hope is not lost! I work with children and their parents on communicating and solving their struggles together. All children are welcome. I specialize in children, preteens, and teenagers. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can all show up as anger, fear, lethargy, and lack of sleep. The sooner it is addressed the sooner your child can feel better and more themselves.

At CSN Counseling, Your better tomorrows can start today. If you are struggling with feeling "sucked into stuckness", overwhelmed with the stress of balancing family and work, needing support while confirming your gender identity and sexuality, or attempting to work through the lingering effects of previous trauma and/or abuse, then I would be honored to sit with you and listen to your story. We can work together to help you gain perspective and insight, while helping you to move through traumas, transitions, and stressors into a healthier and more productive life.

At The Journey Center for Healing Arts, we are passionate about helping people move beyond their past and into a full, authentic life. Trauma affects us all at some level - surviving physical pain, emotional pain, or spiritual pain - and it can keep us from living the life we want. We want to see you thrive through your healing process instead of continuing to struggle with worry, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, grief, and unhealthy relationships.

The clients I work with range in age from 14 and up. They have many different stories but some things in common. They all want someone who will listen and understand them. Together we can get through anything.

I provide individual therapy, to adolescents and adults, as well as couples and family therapy. I believe that the focus of therapy is the achievement of insight and both intra- and inter-personal growth. This means different things to different people and families, so I actively involve you in the direction of your therapy and will check in often to make sure that your needs are being met. I trained as a generalist and pull from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including interpersonal process, insight-oriented, and cognitive-behavioral.

So, you’ve stepped back, looked at your relationships, and realized, “This is not even close to what I want!” UGH! What a moment. A part of you might even chime in to (not so helpfully) remind you that you should just be happy with what you have, especially since it could totally be worse. Maybe that part even suggests this is somehow as good as it gets for you. (Side note, this is your critical voice, and it tends to share, shall we call it “fake news.”) But you’re here because a part of you, even if it’s small and hesitant, wants something more. It feels scary to hope, but you’re here to try.

At times, life can be overwhelming and distressing. Hi, I'm Cam. I'm passionate about helping others and being present with those who free themselves of their emotional pain. Whatever that pain may be, I meet people where they are at and with a holistic lens.

Do you find yourself wondering why you're where you are in life...what brought you to this point? What is the meaning of this crisis in my life? Is there a purpose for my life? My approach to therapy is founded in Carl Jung's Depth Psychology and is useful for all life's problems that come our way - depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, grief, relationships, career and aging as well as for reflection and personal growth. Together we can find the answers to these questions. My approach is holistic, warm, client centered and non judgmental.

Are you holding deep shame and embarrassment for something in the past that was beyond your control? Maybe you have a need to be in control or have everything perfect; or put others' needs first all the time, suffering from guilt for saying "no". Perhaps you have feelings of worthlessness, struggling with a paralyzing fear of going shopping on a busy day. Maybe physical symptoms like sleep disturbances, gut pain, racing heartbeat? When stress hormones flood your body, you're not working to full potential. Domestic violence, car accidents, sexual assault, childhood abuse, and sudden losses - all can be root causes to you symptoms.

Compassion, trust and balance are at the heart of the work that I do. I approach challenges with curiosity and collaboration.

Treatment is customized and unique, as each person who I work with is special and has distinct strengths, needs and preferences. I value diversity and foster inclusivity as an ally and as a partner on your individual path. I am direct and thoughtful, supportive and empathic.
