"We are all just walking each other home." - Rumi
Hello, I am Bo. I am a licensed psychotherapist, licensed clinical addiction specialist, and psychiatric social worker. Thank you for considering me as your clinician. I understand it is difficult to reach out for help. Right now, you may be navigating feelings of shame, embarrassment, and anger. I want you to know, I have been there too, in the middle of the storm, darkness all around. Sometimes in life and in our relationships, we all can become "stuck".
There is a way out, and the way you are feeling now does not have to be the way you feel indefinitely. Most of the solutions to problems do not come intuitively. One role as your therapist is a mentor or guide, assisting in navigating the rough winds of the storm.
I incorporate psychoanalytic, cognitive, and dialectical-behavioral and mindfulness approaches into psychotherapy. I aspire to create a therapeutic space where you will feel safe and comfortable. A positive therapeutic relationship is at the heart of successful treatment. I view trust, honesty, and humor as key ingredients to forming an effective working relationship with my patients.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

A great therapist who’s pushing me in the right direction
Bo is incredibly competent and intuitive. I felt understand and support from our first session onward. Having a vast knowledge of tools and behavioral techniques has made Bo the kind of therapist that I can see myself really digging deep and getting through past trauma with. If you are seeking to be supported on a journey of self growth and improvement, Bo is the right person for you.
