Hi I'm Ben

Depression. Anxiety. Failing relationships. Trauma. Those words may look intense on the page, but if you are experiencing any of these conditions yourself, you know exactly how devastating they can be for your life, your relationships, and your happiness. If you recognize yourself in any of those words, I want you to know that you're not alone in these struggles…and talking to a therapist can help. My goal is to develop a safe and secure therapeutic relationship where we can address your challenges, process your traumas, and help you feel better. But our work won't just focus on what’s “wrong” in your life; we will also identify meaningful goals, and means of improving your relationships with others, and (most importantly) yourself.

“I loved working with Ben. Since he's so solutions focused, I feel like I've been able to make the most progress I've ever had in therapy.”
