I see many clients who feel stuck and unable to alter their life in a way that reflects their values, causing them to feel sad, on edge, or numb. They are suffering a great deal, and often their needs seem unclear. I use a frank and kind style to empower clients to find meaning and hope as they navigate the complicated, often oppressive systems of our world. This process is one of uncovering patterns—which may feel difficult to articulate at the beginning—restricting clients from fully experiencing life. Once their needs and goals become clear, I help them build and sustain a more flexible and expansive way of living and connecting.
The interventions I use to support clients draw from relational therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I specialize in affirming care for men and LGBTQ folks, and treat grief and loss, anxiety and panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), major life transitions and supporting survivors of trauma.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my practice. I encourage you to reach out and schedule a free consultation with me if you are interested in services or have more questions, especially if you have questions about cost and logistics of therapy. I take great pride in demystifying the therapy process for folks.
