Have you ever been to therapy and felt that it was a total waste of time? Have you ever talked to a therapist and felt that they did not get you at all? I have been in your shoes, and I know how it feels. A therapeutic relationship is most effective when you work with a therapist who you feel comfortable with and trust. I offer a practical approach to counseling – something that is simple enough to understand, easy enough to apply right away in your everyday life and give you immediate results. I am so confident that my approach will work for you that I offer you a Money-Back-Guarantee policy. If you are not satisfied with any of your sessions, I will refund your fee (minus the administration fee of $20). My counselling is a full-service approach. I want to take care of you even after our sessions. I want to share something that you can use for the rest of your life. Let me help you utilize new skills, experience happiness, and find exciting ways to enjoy a newfound hope in life.
Over the last 17 years I've been on a journey to figure out what it means to be emotionally healthy. Despite all my education, which includes three Masters Degrees and a postgrad certificate in comedy writing and performing (I'm not sure why I did that one), I'm the first to say that life has been my greatest teacher... that and my wife. She has been very good at helping me see life from a more diverse perspective and to grow in my understanding of healthy conflict resolution, communication, and forgiving (aka be a better person). My goal is to live in a way that will inspire others to want to be healthier rather than to follow what my dad used to joke saying, "Do as I say; not as I do," which is not what you want in a therapist. My style is a mix of CBT, DBT, EFT, solution focused, and logic therapy with my main goal being to help others figure out what it means to be more emotionally healthy a lot quicker than my journey of 17 years.

Now Accepting New Clients: So many of us want to make healthier choices, but it can feel so overwhelming to know where to start. We may lean on self-criticism to motivate ourselves, but this only leaves us feeling drained and discouraged. Perhaps you’re feeling lost in navigating a sea of uncomfortable emotions and turn to quick fixes to escape the pain. If you notice that you constantly oscillate between feeling out of control or overly-controlling, this doesn't need to be your destiny. Although you may feel trapped in this cycle of guilt, unworthiness, and self-sabotage, there is hope for a way out.
As your therapist, I can help you to hone in on your unique strengths in order to encourage movement through self-doubt towards self-compassion. I use a holistic approach to help you work towards taking action towards a healthy equilibrium. Our exploration will be guided by gentle curiosity to step into your most authentic self.
I'm here to support you in gaining control over these big emotions instead of having them control you. I'm currently accepting new clients that are ready to begin their transformative wellness journey. Reach out today by sending me an email. I can't wait to get started.
My approach to therapy is built on authenticity and transparency.
