I have come to believe that by the time we meet you have probably been judged by a long list of people, organizations, culture, etc... I believe you may need to give up who you should be to be who you are and that can be amazing work! Client's I work with tend to begin a journey toward discovering their own core values and beliefs, and with these discoveries, begin to ask for things, in life, that line up with those values and beliefs. This leads to purpose, fulfillment, and an authentic life. Come and mend!

I work with individuals and people in partnerships who need support in the midst of life transitions and/or are experiencing difficulties within their relationships. I am here to help you uncover and discover the nuances that make you unique so that you can find deeper meaning and connection in your experiences, and in your relationships. At times, it may be challenging and overwhelming to make sense of everything life throws at us. Our societal standards put pressure on us in many ways and we are often expected to tackle these problems alone. It takes strength and courage to seek help and I am here to support you.

I work primarily with couples experiencing relationship challenges (conflict, infidelity, relationship distance, parenting challenges) as well as with individuals who are facing personal challenges (stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and general difficulty with emotion management). It’s easy to feel stuck in cycles that bring negative, unwanted results in our lives. I work to facilitate a supportive and collaborative environment to help you heal from painful experiences, break those cycles and embody the change that you want.

I am a contemporary, psychodynamic/analytic oriented psychotherapist, who will work with you to move through emotional obstacles to create pathways for deeply fulfilling change in your personal and/or professional life. My approach is based on understanding the combination of your past experiences, current situation and future hopes. I am both supportive and analytic in helping you move into underlying causes of distress. I work with couples, adults and pre-teens/teens who suffer from anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, career considerations and major life transitions including fertility, parenting, sexuality, divorce, affairs, empty nest. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your situation and needs.

I approach mental health and personality from a holistic perspective. I consider multiple variables when working with clients including mental health, medical history, nutrition, exercise and environment. I would describe my theoretical orientation as eclectic. Eclecticism incorporates therapies from a number of different sources ranging from cognitive-behavioral approaches to alternative treatments such as mindfulness training and meditation. The therapeutic techniques that I use vary from client to client because what works for one person may not work for another. Moreover, I often use more than one therapeutic method depending on my clients' needs.

I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and healing. I feel deeply honored to journey alongside my clients as they face the challenges of being human. I value creating a space for my clients where anything can be said and explored without fear of judgment. I love helping individuals identify and embrace all parts of themselves, even their dark or "shadowy" side. This process can lead to greater self-esteem and authenticity.

If you are having the same arguments over and over again, you are not alone. I will be with you every step of the way. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples to interrupt repetitive Cycles where one person reaches out in frustration, causing their partner to withdraw and hide out. Couple Therapy doesn't have to be torture, and there doesn't have to be a "bad guy". I have helped couples with a range of issues from Domestic Abuse to infidelity to communication issues. I even use humor sometimes, but we don't waste a moment! I welcome couples who have been in couple therapy before and have almost given up.

Life can be wonderful, but it can also be messy and difficult at times. I work with people who face a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, life changes, and concern over climate change. I believe that every person is unique, and I bring respect for that uniqueness into the therapeutic relationship. I am continually fascinated at the complexity, creativity, and resiliency of people. It is my hope that my clients feel genuinely valued and gain further understanding of themselves and their behaviors through the collaborative exploratory work we do together. Then a new way of living becomes possible.

I work with individuals & couples using the principles of mindfulness that include awareness, embodiment (somatic presence), compassion, and care. From this comes a willingness to be more accepting of self and other, to use more skillful discernment with actions that support you and others, and to feel a greater sense of ease, connection, and happiness. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy that follows a process that helps couples create a trusting and loving relationship. I too am informed by Buddhist teachings and practice that shows a way to relate to self, other, and world that brings happiness and peace in your life.

As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with a specialization in early attachment, I love to support clients to access the incredible power of their own bodies. Focusing on body awareness, mindfulness and empathy, I hold a safe, compassionate space for my clients to move from old traumatic behaviors, thoughts and relational patterns toward freedom and joy. Together, we bring loving attention not only to what hurts but to the self underneath. I love seeing how inner growth helps people shape a life of real connection and creativity.

Sometimes it feels like no matter what we do or how hard we try, we are treading water just to keep our head above the surface. We get stuck in patterns of behaving, thinking, relating, and coping that no longer serve us. We feel hopelessness, shame, fear, and self-doubt, keeping us from the things we need most- connection, vulnerability, and meaning. In this place, it is hard to see a way out and we feel helpless to make a change. We lose sight of who we are, what we value, and what brings us joy and contentment. My goal is to help you get “unstuck” so that you can engage more fully in your life.

We are all deeply impacted by a variety of factors. Our upbringing. Our experiences. Genetics and biology. Culture, race, ethnicity and gender. Who we may have lost in our lives. Our physical abilities and/or limitations. These components and more have worked to create over 8 billion unique individuals. What factors have impacted you? What has helped you to thrive and survive? What creates worry or dread? What contributes to feelings of heaviness or being out of sorts? These are some of the questions that will be instrumental in how we approach therapy together.

Our inner world is the most precious thing we have. It is honorable to create space and time to for your psycho-spiritual health, not everyone is on a path to growth. What are sessions like? I meet you where you are, with unconditional presence and support. We exist (always) in relationship to others and it’s through our therapeutic relationship that we’ll work to create the change you desire. I value feedback and always want to make sure we are on the same page and continuing towards goals that matter most to you.

Are you not feeling like yourself? Missing who you were or longing for who you want to be? Are your thoughts telling you that you are broken or unworthy? Sometimes difficult experiences or the general stress of life manifests as physical pain in our bodies or as emotions that feel overwhelming and unpredictable.

The fact that you are looking at this page means you have taken the first step towards getting to know yourself better, and I know how hard that first step can be.

I am casual and tattooed, and that tends to work for most people... even if it's vastly different from how people picture a typical 'therapist'. I feel very privileged to work with members of the LGBTQ+ community and believe I offer a unique perspective as a trans man (that also happens to be a therapist). I really enjoy providing support to folks while they explore components of their authentic identities. I am comfortable working with folks that identify with being poly and/or kinky (No shaming here!).
