Feeling down, unheard, stuck, or lost? You don't have to face it alone.

Hi, I'm Cameron, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience helping individuals navigate life's toughest challenges. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, major life transitions, or simply feeling disconnected, I'm here to help you move forward with compassion and understanding. I offer a personalized approach to therapy that aligns with your unique needs and goals. We'll collaboratively address concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, dysphoria, escape behaviors, substance use, and other related issues.

For lasting change, I utilize a variety of effective therapeutic methods, including: Strengths-Based, Trauma-Informed, Person-Centered, Acceptance & Commitment (ACT), Narrative, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral. As a yoga and mindfulness practitioner, I also integrate somatic techniques for truly holistic healing.
