My Ideal Client

The human experience is not easy, so we wear masks, we put on armor. Our true self gets hidden away… and we may even forget who that is. Casting away those masks, those layers of armor, can take us to dark places. I’m here to support you unconditionally until, together, we find that inner light again.

My Approach to Helping

I treat ADHD, anger/abuse, and anxiety/depression by incorporating CBT, ACT, and IFS into mindfulness-based existential therapy. Practical skills and coping mechanisms only go so far... By exploring your past, discussing the human condition, and examining your hopes and fears, you can find meaning & purpose, resilience, and enduring peace of mind. In vulnerability there is a deep well of strength. With self-awareness and greater focus, we can take back control of our own minds, forgive ourselves, and heal relationships. By reuniting with the lost and damaged parts of ourselves, we find authenticity, what matters most to us... our true self is revealed!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we need to show some compassion to ourselves, because life is often difficult and there is no guidebook! But we can endure, thrive, and find real, lasting happiness with the right tools and support. Whatever is going on, whatever happened, you don't have to bear the weight alone. We can reexamine our values and create new meaning for ourselves. Everyone deserves a chance to become their authentic self, to feel belonging and acceptance, to feel known and understood. Additionally, I understand that growing up as a white male in the USA has left me with plenty of blind spots. I embrace diversity, equity and inclusion as necessary parts of a strong community. I am open to feedback and willing to admit when I've misunderstood. From our differences, we can learn from each other, and by acknowledging the past, we can go together toward a better future. No matter our background, we all deserve love, respect and an equal seat at a round table.

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Self-Esteem External link

    Your self-esteem can improve by identifying your strengths, exploring meaning and purpose, and gaining insight through greater self-awareness. The more you know who you are, and why you are, the easier it is to find compassion for yourself and to love yourself fully. I believe it's possible for everyone to experience real self-love and, with encouragement, embrace their whole self.

  • Anxiety External link

    Fear is a powerful tool of survival, but we don't need it as often as our mind seems to think! By understanding the source of our fears, we can learn to conquer them. Together, we'll search for the origins of your anxiety, explore your defense mechanisms and where they come from, and work to leave those unhelpful thinking patterns behind. You can move forward with curiosity and confidence.

  • Anger Management External link

    People who struggle with anger can learn to overcome it when shown compassion and given a judgment-free space to examine their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We'll address the deep-seated, unconscious beliefs, thought patterns, and historical traumas that cause anger to well up and explode. By getting in touch with your mind and body, you can learn to catch yourself before losing control, and find real, consistent peace of mind.

  • Men's Issues External link

    I know there are a lot of things that are difficult to talk about as men, especially with other men. What we're taught about strength and weakness makes it difficult to open up and talk about our true, underlying feelings. It makes it hard to even know what those feelings are. There is a lot that society expects of men, much of it contradictory and outdated. No topic is out-of-bounds.

  • Loss or Grief External link

    It's hard to find support when you're grieving. Many people just don't know how best to support you, and maybe it feels like they're avoiding you. We all need to deal with grief in our own way, and, together, we'll figure out what that looks like. If you're weighed down by the loss of someone or something, or even if some victory has come at a cost, we can learn to keep on living.
