Practice Specialties
Have you been trying to find a therapist who just “gets you?” Someone with the knowledge, skills, and expertise but who’s also relatable, down-to-earth, and feels more like talking to a trusted friend? Are you tired of suffering and ready for some relief and support?
Hi, I’m Kyle, a Licensed Social Worker who is passionate about helping others the way I was once helped. My passion for this work stems from my personal experience in adolescence with anxiety and depression and I distinctly recall being so overjoyed that the act of simply talking to another person could help me heal, learn, and grow. I knew at that moment that I wanted to get into this field.
I am ready and willing to help you navigate whatever it is that life has thrown at you. Whether you’re looking for support figuring out how to navigate the next phase of life, be it heading off to school, entering the workforce, or just figuring out adulting in general, I’ve got you. I’m a self-proclaimed and proud geek who enjoys helping other geeks figure out this thing called life. If you are into gaming, sci-fi, fantasy or any geeky hobbies, I’m right there with you. I’ve spent the last 12 years working in a variety of mental health settings, dealing with hundreds of people struggling with many different aspects of their mental health. My clinical interests include helping others struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, emerging adulthood, and gaming culture. I’m confident that, together, we can help you heal and help you move forward in life differently.
My therapeutic style is firmly rooted in a client-centered approach. I strive to be my authentic self in session and encourage you do the same. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, but will always be uniquely tailored to you and your needs, strengths, and areas of growth. In our work together, you can expect kindness, compassion, accountability, humor, consistency, and a no nonsense attitude, but most of all, a partner on your journey.
