Kevin enjoys working with clients from diverse backgrounds, specifically people undergoing life changes and people in the LGBTQIA community. Life is unpredictable and full of unexpected challenges/adventures. Kevin finds meeting clients where they are in their journey is the most effective way to help them determine the best path for themselves. Exploring different triggers, barriers, and obstacles on each person’s unique journey can help clients find the way to re-write their own narrative and experience while providing them with the skills to manage the unexpected

I work with adults who feel weighed down by depression, anxiety, or big life transitions-such as changes in relationships, work, or identity. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck or disconnected, wanting to feel more like themselves again. With over 15 years of experience as a Clinical Social Worker, I offer a compassionate space to explore what's underneath these feelings, learn to navigate emotions and life stressors, and develop healthier ways of coping. My goal is to help you build confidence, find more ease, and create relationships-and a life-that feels genuinely fulfilling.

Helping the people I work with to overcome their struggles and manage their symptoms is the best part of my job. I especially enjoy working with college students as they manage the many transitions and stresses of university. I have experience working with people of a variety of age groups, on issues relating to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. I also have experience with LGBTQIA+ identified clients.

My clients are people who once felt vibrant, connected, capable and free. Life has thrown them a curveball, and they now struggle with inner turmoil and self-doubt. They want to move forward, but they feel stuck in the trauma of the past and exhausted from reliving it. They may also be pregnant or postpartum, trying to nurture new life while carrying their own unspeakable pain. Despite appearing successful, inwardly they struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, and debilitating patterns that keep them from living a deeply fulfilling life. If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone and there is a path forward.

Does life seem confusing or even impossible? Does it ever feel like even when you are with others you feel alone? It is brave to ask for help. With every fiber of my being, I believe you have the answers you need and you can be the expert on you. Let me help you better understand your story and help guide you out of the dark places you are stuck in and into your truth. So much of the time we are living a narrative that others have crafted, by pain rather than strength. These narratives can feel like prisons but you have the ability to heal and take back your story.

Many symptoms of mental health challenges can be difficult to speak about. Whether it is anxiety, depression, stress, shame, or anger, your feelings are valid and worth exploring.

Life can already feel overwhelming, and when additional layers of anxiety, panic, severe stress, trauma, complex PTSD, or other mental health challenges are present, it can be even harder to feel grounded and fulfilled in daily life. I believe in meeting people where they are, focusing on what is happening here and now, and supporting each person’s unique journey toward healing. My work emphasizes the mind-body connection and uses experiential methods to help individuals access insights and become more familiar with their nervous system responses.

Have you ever heard someone tell you "Just get over it!"? When someone is struggling with a major life change, grief, or health challenge, this is not acceptable!

Whether you've been in therapy for years or this is the first time you've begun to consider it, everyone has a unique story and life experiences that they are bringing into the room. Many of my clients start therapy because they want to break patterns that they have noticed are no longer working for them. For others, there is childhood pain or trauma that never quite got resolved. Some may be struggling in general with mental health concerns like anxiety or a fluctuating mood. The great thing about therapy is that it is completely about you and what you feel needs attention at this point in your life.
