Hi there and welcome. I specialize in trauma, addiction, spiritual emergence and emergency, relationship issues, and chronic stress/anxiety. I'm passionate about helping people in dynamic life situations find stability, calm, and confidence. I operate from an assumption that you are inherently whole and seek to key in on both what's causing you pain and suffering, as well as the unique gifts and resilience that you bring to your life and to your healing. I provide attachment-based, neurobiologically-informed, and systems-oriented frameworks for people to understand how what they are experiencing is rooted in their history, nervous systems, and nested life contexts. I'm highly experiential in my approach. I know how important it is to talk through what's happening, but I also know how vital it is to slow down, drop out of the mind and into the body, and feel what's here with warm, attuned support--in this case, that's me! I believe we all need one another and that no one should have to walk their healing and awakening paths alone. Let's journey together.

When imagining my ideal client, I see individuals from diverse backgrounds—LGBTQ+ youth navigating identity and acceptance, juveniles facing emotional and behavioral challenges during critical developmental years, adults striving for personal growth or healing from past trauma, and men working to overcome stigma around mental health and express vulnerability. Each client brings a unique set of needs: the need to be heard without judgment, to feel safe in their identity, to rebuild trust, and to move toward a more empowered and authentic self. My approach is grounded in existential-phenomenological psychology, which means I focus on understanding each person’s unique lived experience—how they make meaning, face uncertainty, and navigate questions of identity, purpose, and connection. Alongside this foundation, I integrate evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I tailor my approach to meet the needs of each client—whether that’s a teen struggling with identity, an adult working through anxiety or life transitions, someone processing trauma, or a man learning to express emotion in a safe and healthy way.

My style is very open minded and warm with no blame or accusations attached to actions. I combine rational emotive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy for a practical approach to problems.
