I chose to study men's issues early in my career so I could understand what men need, as I felt I had more insight into the needs of women.
I want to help you get to a better place! I listen carefully to your unique story without judgment, and cherish the privilege of helping you make good decisions about your future within your value system. My belief is that therapy is about a humble self-love, whereby you learn to balance your needs and to advocate for them, while always keeping in mind the needs of the people who are essential in your life. Therapy is also about finding courage to deal with the challenges life presents you. This is slightly easier when you partner with an experienced therapist who cares deeply about your peace, success, and happiness.

I work primarily with clients that have experienced trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, ptsd, relationship issues, career issues, and communication issues.
As stated by Brené Brown "Many of us are willing to extend a helping hand, but we're very reluctant to reach out for help when we need it ourselves". I've heard many people echo these same thoughts in regards to their mental health. When we try not to "burden" others, or are fearful of seeming "weak", or ignore our feelings it can become unbearable and lead us to feeling stuck. Everyone can use a helping hand at times, and therapy can be used as a safe place to figure out your next step.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
