Are you struggling with the loss of a loved one, the loss of the life you thought should have been, or even the loss of self? Are you someone struggling with self-worth, guilt, or shame, someone who struggles to trust others, or maybe to trust yourself?

Trauma, anxiety/depression, or grief/loss often produces overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and purposelessness. Our foundation is shaken, the stability of our lives feels fragmented. In these moments we can turn to substances or disrupted behaviors for relief which only adds to our despair. I work primarily with older teens, adults, and couples who come into the counseling relationship suffering from these and a myriad of other concerns. I take a collaborative, person-centered approach to my work with clients to bring healing, clarity, and renewed purpose through developing sustainable solutions.

It's been my experience that people choose counseling when something in their lives isn’t working; they have a sense that "something isn't right" and they want things to be better but don’t know what "better" looks like. I'm passionate about helping people discover new possibilities and recognize their full potential. I hold space as they work through their experiences with depression, anxiety, unprocessed trauma, addictions, unprocessed grief, codependency, family of origin issues or learning how to navigate the uncertainties and challenges of life.

When our old methods of coping with life's difficulties no longer work, we can find ourselves stuck - in depression, with anxiety, feeling worthless, maybe afraid to even reach out for help. Talking with someone who can assist you in discovering what went wrong and how to heal from it could be invaluable. Each person is unique and has a story to tell. I'll want to hear your story. I strive to provide everyone with a non-judgmental, empathic atmosphere in which you can feel safe to express any experience however painful or shameful it may feel.

I help men show up for their lives without hiding from themselves. My ideal client is the guy who’s done everything “right” on the outside but feels lost, stuck, or angry on the inside. He might be the dependable partner, the hardworking professional, the solid friend — but he’s carrying the weight of expectations, buried emotions, and the quiet fear that he’s not really okay. I work with men navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, identity questions, and the pressure to “have it all together.”

I believe each of us has an innate drive toward healing and wholeness, even in how we cope with pain. As we grow, survival strategies of our past can become limiting, yet we cling to them because they are what we know how to do. Distress—whether emotional or physical—tells us that unresolved trauma is surfacing. The good news is healing is possible. By letting go of what no longer serves us, we can move toward greater peace, purpose, meaning, and become who we truly are.
