As a male therapist I have a first hand appreciation for some of the particular challenges young men face.  There’s a lot of pressure on you and expressing emotions can be very hard.
 
I am interactive in session and my main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a blend of Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I ask a lot of questions early on to really connect with you and understand how your mind works. I  provide structure, education, assignments, and feedback but am flexible as well. 
 
 I will help you to not believe everything you think! Together we will work on learning types of thinking mistakes people make and how you can stop making these mistakes. You will learn to feel more in control over your anxiety.
 
We will work on helping you to become more aware of your emotions underneath your anxiety. We will work on helping you make connections between different emotions and ideas so you feel less confused. Sometimes just learning you actually have a right to feel how you feel and express how you feel can be so powerful in itself.
 
I also focus a lot on personal growth and helping people get onto the right path for you. If you are seeking a more autonomous life we can help you stay true to yourself and make decisions that will get you there.  
 
I specialize in helping people work through the following:
 
Anxiety
Burnout
Anger
Self Esteem
Perfectionism
Career Stress
Confusion
Communication
Emotion Regulation
Identity Issues

Relationship Issues
