You are not broken.

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare.”

MHC-LP

I’m a general talk therapist and my work often addresses anxiety, shame, isolation, control, relationship issues, sense of self, spirituality, generational issues, parenting, food, drugs, and sex.

I believe in somatic practices to promote a healthy mind. I’m always stretching, breathing, meditating, or trying out some new nervous system regulation technique. My knowledge base extends to education, science, politics, language, music and art, international affairs, and the esoteric and metaphysical. I work with all genders, all ages. My emerging speciality is sex and intimacy therapy, wherein we discuss sex itself and all the baggage that can come with it.

I help adult clients with erectile dysfunction, bed death, opening or closing marriages, infidelity, abuse, trauma, and ways to improve sexual and relational health around sex. I also help clients get a handle on their drug use, drinking, or other addictions like pornography.

I’m educated on moderating alcohol, pornography, and a bunch of drugs like ketamine, marijuana, coke, Adderall, GHB, and more. I also assist clients in integration of psychedelic experiences with plant medicine. With my adolescent clients, we work on building healthy social, chemical, and academic habits. We talk candidly about the world and the school system and I give them a real place to air grievances and communicate their unmet needs to their parents in a diplomatic way.

With all my clients I help develop self-esteem and healthy assertive habits like self-advocating, asking for help, and building boundaries. I have a lot of connected niche interests, and a very welcoming personality, so I can always find a way to make people feel comfortable and better about their lives. Give me a call if you’re interested in this kind of individual therapy. I also look forward to working with more families and couples.
