About My Clients

Being happy, feeling better, recovering, & growing are within reach. You are resilient! Together, we will work to help you make sense of all of it to become who you want to be. My goal is to help you enhance self-awareness of your feelings, thoughts, and behavior while being there with you through the sometimes painful and frightening process of growth. My areas of experience include working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, and relational issues.

My Background and Approach

One of my specialties is mindfulness awareness for Men- that is, helping men who have historically struggled with a mind - body connection, find that connection for themselves. While I feel that everyone would benefit from this, I'm particularly passionate about helping men achieve this. There is a power in that connection. Through various techniques I teach you how to process and gain control over your thoughts and emotions - with the goal of processing trauma, reducing depression, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. I have seen it work. I have seen the change in people and observed this physical phenomenon. I specialize in treating males (both adult and teen) struggling and/or experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, relational issues, anger management and addiction. I offer a chance for change, support, guidance, and reduction in symptoms. I use CBT, CRM, DBT, Person-Centered, and a variety of other modalities.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we all have the capacity and tools to live the life we want to. We all come from different walks of life, have different experiences, beliefs and goals. My belief is that, with trials and tribulations, struggles and perceived deficits sometimes defining our current state, we all can be resilient. I believe that with the right changes in both lifestyle, thought patterns, interactions and experiences, change is within reach.
