Hi, I’m Zack, the owner of Dryad Counseling. I believe deeply in the power of personal connection and am here to support you on your unique journey toward mental and emotional well-being.

I specialize in working with adults aged 18-64 who are navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, gender identity, and sexuality. I also have experience with issues related to chemical dependency, problem gambling/gaming, and the unique struggles faced by the LGBTQIA+ community.

As someone who proudly identifies as part of the queer community, my own journey of self-discovery allows me to connect deeply with clients on similar paths. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel respected, heard, and free to explore what matters most to you.

My approach to counseling is as unique as you are. While my training covers many therapeutic methods, I’m drawn to person-centered, solution-focused, EMDR, and motivational interviewing techniques. That said, I tailor my approach to fit your specific needs. Together, we’ll find the tools and strategies that work best for you.

In our sessions, you can expect a non-judgmental, client-focused environment where your thoughts, emotions, and experiences are honored. I’m here to help you make sense of your past, work through present challenges, and create the future you want. I’ll explain the “why” behind my therapeutic approach and encourage you to ask questions, making sure you feel informed and empowered every step of the way.

I’m here to meet you where you are. If we need to explore past experiences and trauma, we’ll do that at a pace that feels right for you. Some days, that might mean diving deep; other days, it might mean focusing on your passions, your daily stresses, or just having space to vent. I’m here to support you, whatever that looks like.

If you feel like we might be a good fit, I invite you to take the next step. You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation or reach out to Dryad Counseling directly. Your journey to a happier, healthier you starts here, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
