Hi there, I'm Wyatt!

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I congratulate you on beginning your journey. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.

My focus

I work with adults, teens, and families managing life transitions, rough patches, and relational issues. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals, we'll create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I use evidence-based approaches to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This hands-on work gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your needs, I may incorporate mindfulness. Together, we'll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with a strong will to discover the origins of my trauma and learn to cope with military experiences while deployed to the Middle East. I’m continually driven by the fundamental belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Seeing my clients gain confidence or find peace makes my work incredibly rewarding.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. I'm here to provide the support and tools you need to move closer to where you want to be.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
