Hey! I’m Akiva and I can’t wait to meet you.
If you are a teen or adult searching to understand your real self, you have found the right place.
With experience in helping individuals and couples, we can work together to uncover the lost parts of your life, bring peace to the chaos, come to terms with the past, and prepare for the future. It can be difficult to take the step to reach out and see someone, and I will assist you along that path.
My experience is in working with teens and adults to overcome significant problems in their lives. Many people feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, and hurt by the events of their life, and struggle to take on the day. Sometimes it feels like you're caught in a loop of thought, action, or pain. Or maybe you don’t know why you do the things you do, feel the way you feel, or think the way you think. Utilizing evidence-based therapies mixed with a warm personality and good humor, we can break down some of the walls that you have found yourself locked behind.
My Favorite Things to Work With
Couples often find themselves hemming and hawing, trying to figure each other out and have conversations like they used to. Perhaps the spark has gone out on the passion that was once there, or doubt has seeped into the daily routine. We can find those sore spots and bridge the gaps that have formed over time. Even the most successful couples can use a little therapy sometimes.
One of my greatest passions is in helping teens navigate the rapidly changing world around them. If you feel alone, asleep at the wheel, disconnected from those around you, slave to your technology, or like you are living a lie, reach out. You may be surprised to find what the next chapter has in store for you.
Values play a big role in the work that I do, so be ready to explore those things you hold dear. The most painful thing is when our actions do not align with what we think is right. If this sounds like your story, know you are not alone, and send me a message. I think we’ll be a great fit.
