I offer a direct, active, goal-oriented approach in helping you find relief from the anxiety, anger, depression, shame, or whatever it is that leaves you feeling stuck. By taking a look at 1) What are you trying to achieve? 2) What are you trying to preserve? 3) What are you trying to avoid? and 4) What are you trying to eliminate? we can highlight the sometimes-complex interaction among your thoughts, decisions, actions and outcomes. Knowing yourself, making use of your personal strengths & your tools at hand while allowing your values guide you, you can propel yourself toward becoming the best, most fulfilled version of yourself.
I use a combination of evidence-based treatments tailored to suit your strengths to overcome your core fears and reach your goals. These include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which can help with different kinds of problems and degrees of suffering. I don’t want you in therapy forever. I want you to reach your goals, and live your life to the fullest.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Geoffrey really listens to what I have to say. He then takes that and uses it to help me in what I need to work on. He gives great suggestions and always reminds me I’m human and not to be too hard on myself. I look forward to my sessions with him!
Wonderful!
Geoffrey has been very helpful in guiding my to a better mental health plan. During a difficult life situation, he has listened intently and continues to help me gain perspective on what I can and cannot control. I can’t imagine navigating through such a difficult time without a therapist. If you’re in need of someone to help you, please reach out to Geoffrey.
Geoffrey is amazing. He is a great listener and very positive. Every time I talk to him he makes me think critically and rationally about situations. I always leave his sessions feeling uplifted, hopeful, and energized about life.
I feel that he listens very well. Takes notes, reminds me of how much progress I have made and looks with me at ways I can improve areas of my life that I want to work on.
He’s awesome!
Good guy, knows his stuff. Has been a big help for me
