My Ideal Client

Maybe you want to: find meaning, purpose; manage ADHD; be rid of anger, abuse, control; heal a relationship, start dating, find belonging; cope with stress, anxiety, depression; process grief, loss; overcome shame, confront hard truths; try something new, give up something hard; navigate a life change; understand yourself. It's never too late to start living life

My Approach to Helping

As a person-centered existential humanist, I take a judgment-free, trauma-informed approach to counseling, focusing on the whole person: your mind, body and spirt. My work incorporates existential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems (IFS), mindfulness-based skills and meditation, and depth psychology. I'm in training to be a psychedelics-assisted therapist, and I can provide preparation, harm reduction and integration sessions.

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.

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.
