With a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Counseling, I believe in the work of this field. Whether this includes group therapy, addiction psychoeducation, or pre-marital counseling, it is my honor to walk with you as you seek to recover or grow. Life can be heavy and emotions difficult to regulate. Throughout your journey, I recognize that it can be life-changing to add a non-judgmental support with tools to your team as you work to reach your goals by using your own strengths. Just as hurt and betrayal often take place in relationship , so do healing and change. In a session with me, you matter and you are safe.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and has worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, stress, and addictions. My approach to counseling is drawn from a variety of therapeutic techniques. I believe that there is no one size fits all modality of treatment. Using a client-centered approach, I work collaboratively to develop an authentic and trusting relationship drawing from Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy to create a more holistic approach to counseling.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to help facilitate and support you, the client, in discovering, processing, and most importantly, deciding if changing some strategies you have needed to implement in negotiating your life is a next step in your treatment. It can take time to identify influencing factors in the problems experienced in life. Through the development of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship , we will identify issues, if not already clear to you, and take action in the therapeutic relationship itself to develop the relational, emotional, and or behavioral skills you determine need to be the focus of your treatment.

He specializes in Couples , Individual, and Family Therapy, integrating psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, attachment and mindfulness-based psychotherapy techniques.
I am a Provisionally Licensed Psychologist. I know that we often believe that we must tolerate or suffer through our current circumstances, as we are often unaware of our full personal potential, as well as the role we play in limiting our growth and progress. Peace of mind and a sense of purpose are essential elements of life that one must deliberately work towards.

I generally see people experiencing anxiety, depression, Trauma/PTSD family of origin issues, pre/post-partum struggles, relationship problems, grief, and general "stuckness".
I am an attachment-based, trauma-sensitive psychotherapist with over a decade of experience, and an eclectic blend of training and knowledge. More than that, though, I am a person who loves to be witness to the pains, joys, and experiences of others. It's hard to sum up the deep work that my clients and I do, but overall, I like to help people increase self-compassion, and deepen their capacity for insight, growth, and awareness. This helps them to see themselves with more clarity and acceptance, and feel more at peace in their lives.

I am interested in getting to know each of my clients and forming a close, collaborative relationship that affords them the freedom to learn more about themselves. Creating this type of unique relationship is invaluable to the therapeutic process. The opportunity to grow in self awareness can be a powerful way to learn about what motivates us and how our histories affect us throughout our lives. I have both personal and professional experience with individuals in the LBGTQ community, and extensive work helping people with disabilities entering the workforce.

Throughout my work, it has become clear that the mind is amazing at convincing us of our worst fears and we can often turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms that may heighten already negative feelings. These experiences can be intense and opening up can bring its own set of challenges. It has been a real privilege to support people in navigating their emotional experiences relating to anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, and trauma. I take a mindful approach to my practice and place significant emphasis on the relationship we build.

I work with a diversity of individuals, couples and groups struggling with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, male/female infertility, relationship challenges, addiction and spiritual struggles.
Do you feel like you are stuck? Do you feel trapped, unable to move past painful experiences in your past? Do you feel mired in negative feelings in the present? Do you find yourself repeating the same destructive patterns over and over? You are not alone. Addressing these questions is the first step towards positive change and growth. I believe counseling is often more than seeking to feel better - it is a journey. It is a way to become the Author of your own Story. Therapy can offer an avenue towards self-empowerment, fulfillment and a deeper sense of meaning in your life. A path towards living more authentically.

I see the therapeutic relationship as the vehicle for change and healing.
Sometimes we all need extra support or a safe place to turn when life seems overwhelming or confusing. Therapy can offer that support and provide a place to talk about things that may be difficult to share with anyone else. Whether you are struggling with life changes, feelings of sadness and anxiety, a sense of "stuckness", or ready to heal past traumas, therapy can and does provide relief and a new way of living.

I work collaboratively with individuals and couples to rebuild fragile trust and intimacy, walking purposely through resolution of personal integrity, betrayal, deception and trauma.
Finding the right therapist can be like choosing among healthcare plans or tax preparation options...a tedious necessity in trying to meet your particular needs. 17 years of professional and clinical experience has helped me refine service to men, women and couples addressing life's most complicating issues (infidelity, sexual compulsivity, PTSD, communication problems...). Based on your assessed needs, our work together will be sensible, practical and results-oriented. I believe you and your relationships can find relief, recover and even thrive in the midst of debilitating challenges.

My work supports all people to find their best selves. Whether this is your first time in a therapeutic setting or you are experienced, I honor the courage it takes to start a journey of vulnerability. What I enjoy most about the therapeutic relationship is that I am just as human as you are! Clients have found me down-to-earth, non-judgmental, and genuinely invested in their well-being. As a social worker and therapist, I strive to empower each person to identify their own strengths and contributions, as well as skills to cope with challenges necessary for accomplishing their personal goals.

With your partner , a new partner , yourself, and how you live.
We specialize in open, nonmonogamous relationships such as polyamory and swinging, alternative lifestyles such as kink / BDSM, LGBT+, and secular or alternative faiths such as paganism. Trying to live more freely and authentically can be hard. Some struggle feeling something is wrong with them. Some people have just been polybombed, the love of their life seeming to say they’re not enough. Others, having taken the leap can’t seem to stop fighting. Feeling isolated, scared, tired, and like they're going to lose everything.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
