What Clients Say

“I came in thinking I knew what my issues were. I'd been over them a hundred times. But those were just the things I could already see. Aaron helped me notice what I couldn't, and that's where everything actually started to change.”

- M.J.

“I'd been in and out of therapy for years. Different therapists, different approaches, none of it really stuck. Aaron helped me understand more in a few months than all of them combined. And he talked to me like a normal person, not like all this weird therapy-speak.”

- S.A.

“A few years ago I suddenly developed prolonged panic attacks but couldn't begin to understand what had caused them. Having been in therapy in the past, and being a counseling intern student, I felt I had exhausted my resources trying to figure out “What is wrong with me?” I can honestly say Aaron provides a form of counseling that is difficult to find anywhere else regarding efficacy. Not only has his approach been effective, but he also has provided me a safe space to explore aspects about myself I may not otherwise have felt able to. I cannot recommend him enough as he has helped me feel more myself than ever before.”

- K.R.
