I work with adult and adolescent clients suffering with anxiety and depression. I specialize in working with men having difficulties with effective communication, insecurities or low self-esteem, emotional distancing in intimate relationships, and mood issues (depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder), feelings of inadequacy, & expressing feelings. I use a variety of techniques including EMDR and DBT.

My counseling style is highly adaptive and deeply relational. I believe healing and hope exist within the context of the therapeutic relationship.I am well versed in different modalities including family systems, strength based treatment, trauma focused, and mindfulness. I specialize in eating disorders, depression, anxiety, family and relational conflicts, and women's issues.
