About My Clients
I do not believe there is an ideal client. In my years of work I have encountered many people with many reasons for why they are the way they are. What I know is that if you are open to the process, we can figure it out. Most of my clients are nervous when they come for the first time, and rightfully so. Its anxiety provoking to talk to a stranger about your "stuff." Despite that hesitancy they overwhelmingly experience relief and begin to see a path forward after we start our work together.
My Background and Approach
I have spent a decade doing short term therapy in counseling centers and my personal practice. I have a record of success with anxiety, depression, trauma, performance and motivation, and addictions. We will set a goal for what you want out of therapy and use scientifically validated treatments to help you obtain that goal. Specifically, I practice from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and CBT framework with developmental and multicultural layers. There is no cost to reach out and consult with me. A good therapist is part experience and training and part "fit" with you and your personality and needs. I encourage you to shop around and speak to several people, as such I am happy to speak about your needs and see if we are a fit.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe we all have a mind that operates in the same way: short term pain relief. What we come to find painful though differs for each of us due to our personal experiences throughout our life. This is the foundation for the control and avoidance cycle that gets us into trouble. Fortunately that system is changeable and I have spent my life helping clients change that as I did for myself. In my free time I am a coach and player in the completive ultimate frisbee community.
