The world is a complicated place. And sometimes the best way to make sense of it all is to sit down with someone and talk it out. When we begin to speak freely about ourselves, we gain not only the opportunity to be heard and understood- We begin to map the richly resourced, vast, and sometimes difficult terrain of our inner lives. In my experience, the best kind of conversation - the kind that heals, energizes & changes lives - is thoughtfully paced and as free as possible from the pressures and expedience that can sometimes rule our daily lives.

A lot of the humans I work with are incredibly thoughtful and trying so hard. Yet, they still find themselves procrastinating, shutting down, or feeling frozen by past stuff. Change isn’t a matter of forcing more willpower. It requires slowing down to look at the patterns and defense mechanisms we build to protect ourselves when life gets heavy. I’m not here to judge, lecture, or pretend I have all the answers. I’m active in our sessions through asking questions, noticing patterns, and gently pushing back when I see you getting in your own way.

Have you lost your “you”? Have you been sad, or grieving? Or, find yourself angry, anxious and out of sorts, in a way that is not usual? Are you isolating, or feel that your relationships have become flat, or distant? Do you have trouble forming and maintaining them? These are but a few areas that can cause emotional pain, darkening our outlook with negativity and gloom, as though our lives have gone from color to black and white. You’ve heard the phrase “better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t.” I can say, unequivocally, that in regard to your state of mind and feelings, it is not true. You deserve better!

I've been practicing therapy for 35 years. Perhaps more importantly, I have a family of my own. I have been married over 32 years. I have 3 daughters, 2 sons-in-law, a dog and a cat. I think kids are wonderful and my favorite people in the world! I work with individuals of all ages, and couples including marital, engaged and long-term relationships. I especially like doing family therapy, addressing parenting issues and individual work with children; in-depth work with individual adults, focusing on healing and recovery from such debilitating experiences as abuse, chronic depression, anxiety, and identity/self-esteem issues.

The loops we live in are the glass ceiling of our life: loops are the patterns, embodied and enacted, that characterize our life. Loops are an inevitable and necessary component of human experience. However, when loops are not working for us, we become limited by them, keeping us feeling stuck, trapped, disempowered, and confused. Owning our loops allows us to own our life. Common loops include: trauma, addiction, relationship dynamics, mood, beliefs, and identity. Push beyond your limiting loops to discover who you are and what your life can be.

I believe that everyone can become the version of themselves they want to be. But this "becoming" is a journey with many twists and turns. Life can be beautiful and wonderful, and at other times it can feel like one gut punch after another. We all need someone to lean on in order to keep going sometimes! My philosophy is informed by my own lived experience. I'm queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent, and certainly no stranger to anxiety and depression. Through my own therapy, I learned that no one was coming to "save" me – I had to show up for myself. Learning to integrate my experiences has colored my world for the better.

I believe in the resilience of human beings and their 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 where anything can be said and explored without fear of judgment. I love helping folks identify and integrate all parts of themselves to create more authenticity and alignment in their lives. Many of my clients describe feeling "stuck" in patterns that no longer serve them. This can manifest as perfectionism, unhealthy relationship dynamics, and an inability to make sustainable changes in their life.

We humans are wired for contact and connection. Yet sometimes we don't know how to develop the needed connections; relationship building and managing one’s life effectively can thus be both terrifying and exhilarating . Lack of healthy support and resultant traumas leave us depressed, anxious, isolated, or insecure, leading to addictions, obsessions and compulsions, poor communication, relationship difficulties, or general dis-ease in one’s life. Yet healing is possible, and finding a therapist with whom you resonate is crucial.

Tell me if this sounds like you: you are beginning to recognize patterns that are harmful to you, maybe unhealthy relationship dynamics, ways you abandon yourself and your needs in order to meet the needs of others, a pattern of constantly being let down by yourself and a lack of ability to advocate for your own needs, negative self-talk? You can see these patterns, but you don't know how to stop them from repeating over again. If you are in a space of being ready to start choosing yourself and prioritizing your own care, we may be a great fit to do this work together, as a team. Are you ready to make some changes?

Life can look fine on the outside while feeling very different on the inside. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you. Sometimes we find ourselves quietly wondering, “How did I end up here?”
I work with adults (18+) navigating life transitions, anxiety, identity questions, relationship challenges, health concerns, and the pressures that come with being a high achiever. As a BIPOC gay man, adoptee, business owner, and former Division I coach, I bring both clinical training and lived experience into the therapy room.

I work with individuals seeking a holistic, trauma-informed approach to healing attachment and developmental trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addictions, and compulsive patterns. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of overwhelm, panic, emotional reactivity, numbness, or disconnection. Together, we work to regulate nervous system responses, process painful emotions and memories, and build greater capacity for presence, calm, connection, joy, and emotional resilience so healing feels more integrated and lasting.

I work with men and couples to quickly move through conflict into a more intimate and effective experience. Expect an engaging space with humor and thought provoking questions to create more aliveness. I want you to feel engaged in the therapeutic relationship in a manner that encourages you to take more risks in your everyday life. You’ll gain focus, confidence, and stronger connections.

I work with people who find themselves ready to work on trauma, major transitions, loss and grief, and unexpected life-happenings. I enjoy exploring someone's inherent inner wisdom to reach dynamic solutions. I live for the epiphany, the "ah-ha!" moment when everything suddenly seems to make sense. Collaboration is vital, and I delight in standing beside and supporting people during powerful inner work. I have a strengths-based, relationship-first, reflective listening approach. I work together with clients on trauma and core beliefs to shift those and patterns of less helpful thoughts. I love seeking creativity in therapy as well.

Life can throw us some major challenges and often people can end up in survival mode, panic mode, or just struggling to get out of bed in the morning. Counseling provides resources and support for moving out of these modes into well-being, health, and joy. Each person comes to counseling with their own strengths and challenges. My job as a therapist is to support each person as they move towards their goals such as decreasing anxiety and depression, healing from old wounds or trauma, learning skills to manage emotions or experiences, exploring themes such as identity and self-esteem, working through relationship conflicts, and more.
