I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. You may feel stuck in patterns you’re ready to break free from but unsure how to start. Using the collaborative LifeMaps treatment plan, we will explore how your past has shaped your present and work to build self-awareness, uncover strengths, and foster change. My experience as a gay man raised in the South gives me a unique perspective that informs my understanding of cultural and family dynamics.

If you’re looking for therapy of depth, insight, and durability; if you’re seeking a highly-trained therapist with over 37 years of experience who listens carefully, deeply, and thoughtfully; if you’ve been disappointed by ‘quick fix’ approaches that promise much and deliver little; if you want an individualized approach designed specifically with your needs in mind, you are in the right place.
Grief is a natural part of any major life change, whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or shifts in your sense of self. Society often expects us to “move on” quickly, but grief doesn’t follow a set timeline. You may find yourself grieving not just a person, but the life you had, or the person you used to be. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space for your grief to be fully felt—where you don’t have to pretend everything’s fine.
I view my clients as the experts of their own lives, experience(s), and self. I believe we each carry the "answer(s)" we need most within, but are not always taught how to get there or how to tune in with ourselves. During our time together, you will be given an opportunity to explore and "be with" yourself in potentially deeper and new ways. I believe the exploration of self is interwoven with the unfolding of our life.
“I know I was born, and I know that I’ll die / The in-between is mine.” ~ Pearl Jam. How’s your in-between treating you? Are you living by your rules or someone else’s? Relationships not as great as they could be? Are family or work dynamics causing increased stress? Are you overwhelmed or overthinking about anything and everything? We are the experts of our own lives. But sometimes, we need an outside perspective to help us work through the complexities to shape our ideal in-between.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

I am passionate about helping clients through difficult times. I understand the immense impact that trauma, grief and life transitions can have, and I am dedicated to helping you rediscover your inner strength, healing, and the possibility of moving forward in meaningful ways. I believe that while these experiences can feel like endings, they also hold space for new beginnings and a deeper understanding of who you are.
My clients are: couples, parents, families and individuals. Fulfillment is the very thing that achievement and money cannot buy. It allows us to live longer and with greater satisfaction. Relationships are vital. Most of all how we relate to ourselves. If past trauma, anxiety, or depression are interfering, then we can build the skills and internal resources to help.
I help teens, adults, and the elderly who are dealing with relationship struggles, identity development, chronic pain & medical issues, bipolar, anxiety, trauma, and self-harm. I endeavor to help you find your footing, so that you can face your future with greater confidence and peace of mind.
Do you worry constantly, feel on edge all of the time or have a persistent fear of failure or judgement? Feel like you’re not good enough, not living the life you want to live, or that you’ve lost touch with the things that bring you contentment with little hope that you can live life in a fulfilling way? Have you had a traumatic experience that left you feeling disconnected and having a hard time trusting people, with the need to protect and numb yourself? If so, I may be able to help.
Asking for help is one of the most challenging things to do for ourselves, but it is one of the best ways of self-investing. When we physically do not feel well, we reach out to our doctors or nurses for support because we think that is normal. When we do not feel well mentally, it can give us a sense of not feeling normal, and while everyone's story is different, it is the same because we all have one.

Are you feeling internally conflicted and that is making you stuck and anxious? Maybe that internal conflict is manifesting in conflicts with others? Are you ready to be kinder to yourself? Are you ready to be curious about yourself? Are you ready to get along with yourself and others better? Do you want more freedom, choice, autonomy, even agency in their life, but are struggling with how to get it? Yes, is this you, is this what you want? Yes, then you have come to the right place.
Has life thrown you for a bit of loop recently? Maybe that recent break up has left you reeling. Or this recent move has been hard. Grief can come in many forms, a big move, birth of a baby, an end of a friendship, or death of a loved one. Loss is some of life’s toughest stuff. Feeling alone in this world can be pretty scary. Lets work towards a way for you to find yourself again. I have lots of coping skills in my pocket to share with you.
You might be an excellent fit for my practice if you are currently navigating one of adulthood's many transitions, are experiencing chronic or acute anxiety or panic, or are affected by relationship issues, including family concerns. In my practice, you will learn to practice healthy relationship patterns, identify your needs, and build a life you love that is not controlled by fear or anxiety.
You may feel entrenched in old, ineffective patterns that are difficult to break. You may feel confused or directionless due to unexpected crisis. You may be adjusting to a change in your physical, mental, or social abilities. Or you may feel that something is wrong without even knowing what the problem is. I provide mental health counseling for individuals in the Portland area so they can navigate these kinds of transitions and answer their inner call for change.
I am pleased to support a variety of clients: folks interested in looking at intergenerational trauma, sex workers, members of the kink community, those with a history of trauma/abuse, Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), other healers, people with curiosity to engage with their inner parts, members of the queer community, the spiritually/religiously wounded, those interested in diving deeper, & those struggling with codependent relationships.

I enjoy facilitating reconnection from a place of playfulness and open curiosity. The types of clients I typically work with are those struggling with identity, family wounds, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, LGBTQA+ issues, relational struggles, and those who do not feel they fit into a prescribed box.
I work with folks of all genders and backgrounds, people who are suffering from all types of difficulties. You and your reasons for seeking help are unique, and the work we do together will also be unique. Historically, my clients have needed help with anxiety, depression, body image / eating, inability to focus, or difficulties with their loved-ones. Whatever brings you here, I'm interested in getting to know you, and helping you make that change you desire.
Counseling is for everyone. Whether processing the past, finding contentment in the present, or looking at goals towards the future - I am so proud of you. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, exploring what it is to be in the quarter life stage and how to become your own person. From just entering high school to graduating from your grad degree program, or navigating independence - there is so much to process in our emerging adulthood. You are worth listening to.
My clients often come in feeling anxious, burned out, wanting to explore childhood events that affected them, or wanting to learn how to relate to others and to themselves in more positive ways. I provide mindful, collaborative, and playful therapy to adults, parents of children of all ages, and adolescent girls (8+). I enjoy working with adults who care for others (parents, caregivers, and people in caring professions), and have a background as a school counselor (I love teens!).
