Licensed Mental Health Counselor -
Life is hard… sometimes we get ‘hard’ confused with ‘bad’. We can get through hard, even the hardest… and sometimes we just might need a little help. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. I particularly appreciate working with men regarding personal and cultural identities of masculinity, and I also work with women, teens, and couples. I believe we have an innate healing intelligence, something in us that knows who we truly are and how to get through even the hardest struggles to a clearer life. I believe our suffering comes from a basic detachment from this essential, core sense of Self, and attachments to rigid, engrained thoughts and feelings that create distress. My work involves co-creating a sensible, wholistic approach to problem-solving, emotional regulation, body and energetic movement, and cognitive restructuring… finding greater wellness and stability. I can offer ways of discovering your way back to who you really are, perhaps a newer version of the real you.
