New to Grow
You're ready for a change—a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. You deserve a therapist who offers a compassionate presence and a clear path forward. As an individual therapist with over a decade of experience, complemented by my work in community mental health and dual diagnosis, I help people like you find their footing. My goal is to help you navigate difficulties and build lasting resilience. My approach is grounded in a blend of evidence-based modalities. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to tailor our work to your specific needs, helping you develop practical skills and build emotional resilience. I offer compassionate support for teens and adults facing challenges with anxiety, anger, depression, relationships, life transitions, and self-esteem. My purpose is to provide a safe space for you to explore what holds you back and build the tools you need to move forward. Let's connect!
Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. In our first session, my priority is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. We’ll spend time exploring what brought you here and what you hope to achieve, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported from the start. With over a decade of experience in community mental health and private practice, I blend evidence-based tools like ACT and DBT with a compassionate, trauma-informed approach. Together, we will identify what’s holding you back and begin building a practical, resilient path forward at a pace that feels right for you.
I believe therapy is most effective when it’s an active, engaging conversation. My strength lies in helping you connect deep personal values with practical, everyday changes. Rather than just listening, I work alongside you to help shift the 'weight' of life’s big questions into a source of clarity and resilience. Clients often tell me they appreciate this blend of deep insight and real-world application, which helps them move forward with a renewed sense of purpose.
My ideal clients are men navigating the complexities of modern life who are ready to claim greater agency over their future. We focus on bridge-building between where you are and where you want to be, specifically by clarifying your values and taking intentional action. Together, we work to release the heavy burden of existence by finding meaning and purpose in the choices you make every day.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past ten years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge recurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. We'll use this understanding to change your negative thought patterns, which will lead to a more relaxed, stress-free, and intentional life.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT to help you stop struggling with difficult thoughts and emotions, moving instead toward a life guided by your deepest values. Together, we will work on psychological flexibility, using mindfulness and committed action to help you show up fully for the things that truly matter to you.
