I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am here to help you gain insight about yourself and make the changes that will empower and heal you. Change is not more difficult than you think; it's just different than you think.

Caring about my own situation
Written on Jun 07, 2023 after therapy with Benjamin for 6 months on issues concerning depression, lgbt, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping disorders, coping with life changes, and adhd
Benjamin has exceeded all my expectations. He understands me and listens to me. He asked very good questions and challenges me when appropriate. He’s incredibly available. He really cares about me. My issues are complex, and he’s helping me in ways I didn’t think possible. He has, without exaggeration, saved my life.

An absolute treat. Genuine person with a heart for his fellow man. Had the patience of a saint when it came to my very specific problems. I would absolutely recommend 100 times over. Full of great stories and thoughts to get you thinking and moving. 1000/10
