Is the hurt of a traumatic past still weighing on you? Or maybe you’re struggling with a toxic relationship or can’t find the confidence to stand up for yourself. I can help you learn to let go of the past. Even if it’s been months, years or even decades, there is hope. The idea of rebuilding our life is daunting, but not impossible. Above all, I help people cope with anxiety, depression and substance abuse to get back to living life to the fullest and being the best version of themselves.
I believe in being transparent and honest with my clients. Sometimes the message that we need to hear isn’t easy to hear. However, through honesty, I foster an environment of focused growth and progress. Therapy is a way to understand the challenges you face and develop ways to overcome them with the support of someone in your corner.
Life can be full of ups and downs that often come without a warning. While it’s natural to attempt to attempt to overcome these challenges on our own, this can often lead to additional stress, isolation and anxiety. Change doesn’t occur overnight, but through therapy, I can support you to in your journey towards a different future.

Geoffrey always is and continues to be amazing. He really listens and offers me good advice. He has given me the tools to make positive changes in my life. He really seeks to understand my anxiety and internal conflicts and acknowledges the external factors that contribute to this. I honestly could not be any more grateful for the kind and wonderful soul that is Geoff. He is awesome, and everyone needs a Geoffrey!

Geoffrey challenges me in a way that I can better reflect on myself to be the bigger person and have a positive outlook. He is respectful and understanding when my faults get the best of me. Our sessions always end positively with motivation for the week. I’d recommend him & Better Help to anyone; especially those thinking they are lost and helpless. You’re not! You’ve just got to take action, “take chances, make mistakes, [and] get messy!” (Quoted from Miss Frizzle of Magic School Bus).

Geoffrey has been so available. You can tell he really cares about the things you tell him and he genuinely wants to help you work through everything you are going through. Every piece of advice, worksheet, or task he has challenged me with has worked wonders for me so far. I am excited to
Continue my journey with him. He has truly been great!

Geoff is approachable and easy going. He's a good listener and had helpful insights about how to work through problems. He also does a good job not making the session about him or sharing too many personal opinions, which might making sharing things with him more challenging.
