Hi, I'm Ben, and I'm excited to share a bit about my journey in mental health. I graduated with a BA in Philosophy from Saint Anselm College, which ignited my curiosity about the human mind, and then pursued an MA in Counseling at the University of Dallas to turn that curiosity into expertise.

I've spent over a decade working directly with at-risk adolescents at a boys' home, providing not just supervision but real, meaningful support. I've also worked for Medicaid, visiting homes to manage care for the elderly and disabled. My time as a mentor at an online charter school allowed me to guide young people through their educational challenges.

I most recently worked at an online private practice, where I dedicated myself to helping individuals navigate through trauma, attachment issues, depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders. My approach blends empathy with professionalism, aiming to lead people towards healing, growth, and self-discovery through individual and group therapies.

I am a strong advocate for mental health care, believing it's not just beneficial but a human right. Let's walk this path together, where you'll find both professional support and a personal touch to your journey of healing.

My own experience helping my child navigate difficulties with oral aversion and sensory integration concerns has helped me to develop a compassionate interest in working with other children who struggle with similar issues.

My goal is to become a certified Play Therapist to allow me to work with children from toddlers and up to accommodate each individual child’s needs.
