Between balancing work, school pressures, relationships and the 24 hour news cycle, it is natural to feel anxious and overwhelmed. As your therapist, I strive to walk alongside you and build upon your pre-existing skills to empower you to feel confident enough to manage future life stressors on your own and learning to identify what things truly deserve your energy. My approach takes on a trauma-informed lens with compassion-focused interventions. I often like to consider how various systems in the US have impacted our ability to thrive and what we can do to cope with them. I enjoy working with teens and young-adults wanting to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, life transitions and impacts of trauma. I reference research-based psychotherapy while also weaving in humor and candidness into each session. I believe that acting with humility is an essential component of the therapeutic process. If we can't be our authentic selves, we are limiting our potential for success.

I have over 10 years experience working with individuals, couples and groups of all age groups. My areas of specialization are trauma related disorders, personality disorders and psychosis. I am trained in multiple modalities and take a eclectic Multi-tool approach to individualize the treatment offered to the client.

Hi, I’m Anthony — a therapist who believes you deserve to feel seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. Life can feel overwhelming (and let’s be real, a bit unhinged lately), especially for LGBTQIA+ folx and allies navigating identity, anxiety, relationships, trauma, or just the everyday stress of existing in a complicated world. My ideal client is someone who’s tired of masking, managing alone, or feeling like they’re “too much” — someone who wants connection, clarity, and the freedom to live more authentically. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you — it’s about creating a safe space to unpack what’s heavy and stressful.

Are you overwhelmed with life stressors due to family conflicts, prioritizing school, or systemic issues? Do you sometimes feel so anxious, depressed, misunderstood, or numb that you feel disconnected from everything or everyone? Are you constantly prioritizing everyone except yourself? Are you simply tired of feeling stuck or overthinking? Well I get it! Tribulations can arise despite our age, race, religion, sex, or background. Despite our intersectionality, we all deserve and need a safe space to explore our thoughts, feelings, experiences, and behaviors; understanding the impact allows us to recognize patterns and create better experiences.
