Are you having the dawning realization that you aren’t living life as fully as you could be? Are you experiencing troubled relationships, a narrowing sense of possibility, or wounded self-esteem? Or maybe you simply have the gnawing sense that it’s time for a change, but no idea how to make it happen. If so, this is a great time to step into therapy. I use a collaborative, depth-oriented approach to help individuals and couples overcome obstacles, build on their strengths, and move through a variety of challenges.
I bring care and curiosity to our sessions as we delve beneath the surface to identify self-defeating patterns and tap into the wisdom of the psyche - which holds the keys to healing. Together we challenge old stories and figure out what you really stand for, bringing your outer life into alignment with what matters to you most.
Good therapy doesn't just reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflict- it can also foster an inner revolution leading to a more meaningful, empowered, and joyful life. Feel free to reach out to learn more about my practice and approach. Making changes takes courage. Congratulations on taking the first step.

There are a lot of therapists on here, but Matt is above-the-ordinary. Just look at how he wrote his profile, the words he uses & the depth he's able to convey. He will do the same in the room - bring illumination & perspective in new and creative ways.
