Hi, I’m Aaron. I specialize in helping adults ages 18–64 who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious about the future. On the outside, you might appear successful and high-functioning, but internally, you may be dealing with burnout, racing thoughts, grief, or a lack of meaning. Whether you are navigating life transitions, relationship stress, or existential worry, I help you turn internal insight into real-world progress. With over a decade of experience supporting individuals from under-resourced communities to corporate executives, I bring a balance of deep empathy, structured support, and gentle accountability. Rather than just talking through problems, we work collaboratively to build practical, multi-modal toolkits you can use outside of sessions to manage anxiety, build resilience, and regain a sense of direction and joy.
The first session is focused on completing a comprehensive assessment to tailor services to your specific needs and goals. It may feel more structured compared to typical sessions, but this process helps me gain a clear understanding of your history and current concerns. It also ensures your safety and addresses any immediate crisis needs. During this session, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions about the process and start building trust and rapport with me as your provider.
I bring a balance of deep empathy, structured support, and over a decade of versatile experience working across a broad spectrum of settings, from under resourced communities to corporate executives. My approach stands out because it bridges the gap between deep self reflection and real world progress. Rather than just talking through problems, we focus on clear, collaborative strategies and practical toolkits that you can actively apply outside of sessions to calm a racing mind, manage stress, and make tangible life changes. By combining validation with gentle accountability in a nonjudgmental space, I help you break through feeling stuck, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and joy.
My ideal client is an adult who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, despite appearing high-functioning, successful, and dependable on the outside. They may be struggling with anxiety that won't quiet down, deep burnout, relationship stress, grief, or a persistent sense that life should feel more meaningful than it currently does. They often deal with a racing mind, self-criticism, or uncertainty about how to move forward through major life transitions. Mindset-wise, they are motivated to actively participate in their growth and ready to move beyond just talking about their problems. They want to understand the root of what is keeping them up at night, but they are equally eager to learn actionable tools and practical strategies they can use outside of sessions. Ultimately, their goal is to turn self-insight into real-world progress, build long-term resilience, and create a life that feels grounded, manageable, and deeply fulfilling.
I have completed comprehensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I incorporate as a core method in my practice. DBT supports client empowerment by teaching key skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. I use these skills to help clients manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build healthier coping mechanisms. By fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship, DBT enables clients to gain greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence in handling life’s challenges.
I have integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my practice as a powerful tool for helping clients rewire their responses to life's obstacles and barriers. CBT helps clients develop effective tools and practices to modify their reactions to stress, focusing on replacing negative thought patterns with more balanced, realistic perspectives. By emphasizing positive coping strategies, CBT supports clients in fostering emotional wellness, building resilience, and improving overall mental well-being.
I integrate Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) into my practice to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness and acceptance. Through mindfulness techniques, clients learn to observe their thoughts and emotions non-judgmentally, promoting emotional regulation and reducing stress. MBT empowers clients to develop greater self-awareness and resilience, enhancing their ability to cope with life's challenges in a grounded and balanced way.
I use Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to help clients focus on their strengths and resources to create solutions, rather than dwell on problems. By emphasizing future goals and building on past successes, SFT encourages clients to envision positive outcomes and take practical steps toward achieving them. This strengths-based approach is effective for clients looking for quick, practical solutions to specific challenges in their lives.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a key approach in my practice that focuses on strengthening clients’ intrinsic motivation for change. By using open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations, MI helps clients explore their ambivalence, identify personal goals, and build confidence in their ability to make positive changes. This collaborative, client-centered approach encourages clients to move toward meaningful behavioral shifts at their own pace.

Aaron is a great therapist. I've enjoyed meeting with him for a number of months now. Very authentic, caring, and insightful. I take notes on things that come to mind when we meet and I always come away with helpful insights.
