Imagine feeling it in your bones that change is possible. How you relate to yourself, others, and life - can change. I want to work with people who are courageous and fearful and unsure. When we have limiting stories of ourselves it can be helpful to have someone else, a professional, hear us - see us- and want to show another way. I will not look away from your shadow, and I do not fear trauma or big emotions. You are so much more than what you've done, your body, and your worst thoughts.

Ever feel like saying F#CK My Life? I sure do, especially with therapy being the second toughest thing in the world to sell to men! Not only do you have to admit you need help, which is hard enough for most guys, but then there's the ridiculous social stigma that getting therapy is admitting weakness instead of strength. To add insult to injury therapy can be time consuming, results aren't guaranteed and it isn't cheap either. So why bother? Because regret is a much worse feeling than failure. Those who become old and regret not taking leaps of faith now realize it is too late to fulfill their purpose. So, let's get started.

Do strong emotions and memories impact how you live? Unresolved trauma and chronic stress can create negative thoughts and feelings and negatively impact our overall well-being. We may experience anxiety/depression, addiction, chronic stress, etc. Coping mechanisms may become ineffective or even harmful over time. Are you new to therapy - or have been to therapy before - call to discuss how trauma therapy may help.

I work with those who are motivated, yet uncertain of their next steps. They desire or need someone trustworthy & integral to support them through their changes and growth. They are willing to put the action & effort into themselves for it. They are willing to risk stepping into the unknown. My ideal client wants a guide to their power and to move away from self-punishment. They are those who have become lost, wandering in circles of their hurt -- confused or disconnected from life in & around them - For these I am in service.
