Our quality of life is determined by the quality of our relationships. Whatever your goals may be, change is an inside job, and I'm here to be both a witness and a resource in that complex process. When we can let go of shame and judgments around emotions, we allow space to cultivate more curiosity, compassion, acceptance, resiliency, and joy. When we utilize mistakes as informational gifts we can strengthen and clarify the authentic self. I would like to help you meet this self.

It takes courage to ask for help. It starts with a desire for change and the willingness to get uncomfortable. If you have this, then you have the most important pieces to begin the process of therapy. Evolving requires us to pause, reflect and be willing to learn and grow.
I lead with curiosity and compassion. My style is nurturing, highly interactive and practical. I believe that examining the patterns of your life can help you understand how you have arrived in your present circumstances.

Many people, especially men, wrestle with loneliness, anxiety, grief, shame, relationship difficulties, questions of identity and purpose, and the pressure to appear strong even when they are suffering internally, and have been taught to carry burdens alone, suppress vulnerability, or define themselves primarily through achievement. Therapy can provide a safe space to engage these experiences honestly, cultivate greater self-awareness, and develop a more authentic and meaningful way of living.

It is an honor to accompany individuals into the psyche where our deepest wounds are sometimes hidden. Healing energies can often be found in those depths, stimulating growth toward a more whole, authentic and satisfying existence. Sometimes the pain is on the surface, and symptom relief is necessary to allow the individual to return to a more effective functioning level. This can be accomplished through a combination of cognitive approaches (i.e., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and body-centered approaches (i.e., focusing, embodied dream work, mindfulness).

My ideal clients are people who sense that something is still unresolved — even after years of trying to understand themselves. They arrive carrying trauma, anxiety, relational wounds, or a sense that things could feel easier. Many are curious, self-aware, and ready to go deeper than talk therapy alone has taken them.
I meet clients with a range of specialized approaches tailored to how each person's nervous system holds their history. I utilize EMDR & Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) in tandem with a disarming, relational approach, moving people toward genuine healing, not just symptom relief.
