Does it feel like you have given everything you have to give just trying to feel like you're enough at work, as a parent, as a spouse or partner, as a son or daughter, or as a provider or caregiver?

Welcome to a safe place to unload, discuss, reprocess, and reframe without judgement. I am glad you are here and I welcome you to let me assist you in moving beyond what has been in the way.

Clients who work with me are often navigating transitions, especially in their career or relationships. Often times, crippling fear holds you back from making that leap despite the inner "knowing" that something isn't for you anymore. I also work with those navigating other life transitions- breakups, divorce, spiritual shifts, or couples navigating new or challenging seasons (especially ADHD impacted relationships) in their romantic partnership. I also have a special interest in working with those looking to integrate non-ordinary states of consciousness experiences- included, but not limited to Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

“Stuck. Lost. Unsure. Discouraged.” These are words clients have said to me at the beginning of our time together. I love helping these clients when they are experiencing a large transition in their lives; either one they have been looking forward to, or one that has taken them by surprise! Change can be incredibly difficult, but I help my clients see the unique opportunities within those changes to take more control and ownership over their own stories.

Some of our clinicians are certified or have advanced training in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Jungian Sandplay Therapy; we also use modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and DBT.
It is natural to experience a range of emotions; some flooding us thoroughly, and others frozen at our core. Sometimes we all feel challenged by life itself—anxious about change, lonely with ourselves, feeling captive by our past, and running from our fears. This is why it can be helpful to seek out a therapist. Our counseling practice is focused on helping adults and teens who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. As clinical therapists and trauma specialists, we can help you to better recognize and resolve challenges, so you can feel better oriented to your present and prepared to create a balanced future.

Hello! Let's be real, so many people live their lives day-to-day, bottling up those hard-to-deal-with emotions or struggling to find stability with regulating themselves in a healthy, productive manner. I believe that through therapy, one can receive the emotional/mental support to achieve the goal of living a true, authentic life. The goal here is not perfection, but to at least begin moving towards a life you actually enjoy. It's time to be who you are truly meant to be.

I specialize in working with men and teen boys. Many of the men I work with struggle with dissatisfaction in life, marital or relationship difficulties, anxiety, and depression. These issues can show up as frustration, emotional numbness, conflict, or a sense that life isn’t turning out the way you expected. Many of the teen boys I work with face challenges at school and at home, relationship stress, anxiety, depression, and identity-related struggles. Adolescence can be confusing and isolating, and I help teens better understand their emotions, build confidence, and develop healthier ways to cope with stress and relationships.

FAQ - About Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
