When difficult emotions interfere with your ability to enjoy life, knowing what to do next can be hard. I am deeply committed to a patient-centered approach, ensuring you feel deeply heard, respected, and in control of your therapeutic journey. Our sessions begin as a conversation and progress into a collaborative relationship for exploring present and past challenges. Using trauma-informed methodologies that address root causes, we will work together to shift old patterns, uncover your internal strengths, and build coping strategies tailored to your life.

What parts of yourself do you wish to develop? Healing and growing is a process, and therapy is a place to look inside ourselves, find new and meaningful pieces, and bring them back to integrate into our daily lives. Whether we are celebrating your successes or processing through the challenges, meaning can be made either way. I’ll be there in each session to be someone on your side, on your team. Together we will collaborate on your goals, and the strategies around how to achieve them.

You've spent your whole life feeling like something's wrong with you. Exhausted from masking, people-pleasing, and forcing yourself into systems that weren't built for your brain. Racing thoughts. Missed deadlines. The shame spiral when you drop another ball. You've been told you're "too much" or "not enough." Anxiety follows you everywhere. You've tried therapy before—but left feeling more broken than when you started. You're not looking for someone to fix you. You want a therapist who actually gets it. Who sees your differences as strengths. You're ready to stop surviving and start building a life that works for YOUR brain.

I have been providing therapy for over 20 years with individuals, couples, families and groups. My areas of interest and specialty are developmental, emotional and physical trauma and/or abuse, sexuality and gender identity and grief. My style is to support while challenging people. My passion and mission statement is to validate: emotions, thoughts and behaviors are normal; what we decide to do with these daily experiences is what allows us to be happy and enjoy life and our relationships.

My work is focused on meeting each unique individual where they are in order to help them find relief from their suffering. I use therapeutic techniques that give you helpful coping tools and problem solving for symptom relief as well as provide a deeper level of growth to move beyond old patterns into a more fulfilling way of life. My approach is grounded in listening carefully to you and coming to a deep understanding of who you are, what you want/need, and your individual way of living life. I reflect these things back to you and we work together to explore any changes that feel right for you.

I work with people who are used to performing under pressure and being the one others rely on—but are starting to feel the cost of it. This includes first responders, professionals, parents, and trauma survivors experiencing burnout, anxiety, irritability, or emotional exhaustion. Many come in used to pushing through while feeling overwhelmed underneath. I help by combining practical nervous system skills with deeper trauma work, drawing from both clinical expertise and lived experience so you can not only manage stress in the moment, but begin to feel more steady overall.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, religious trauma, spiritual abuse, relationship difficulties, and other high-stress or emotionally complex situations. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in repetitive patterns, or unsure how to move forward despite spending a great deal of time trying to understand what is happening. Therapy can provide a place to make sense of these experiences, develop clarity, and begin making meaningful changes.

My approach is pragmatic and empathetic, using treatment knowledge and skills to help you discover a new way of relating to yourself, to others, and to your experiences. I can support you in the process of change, which most humans find uncomfortable and challenging even when we know it is necessary for growth.

I offer a holistic and collaborative approach to therapy and trust we all have the power and wisdom within us to get to the healing & growth we need. Therapy is a journey toward finding balance and wholeness. It is about disentangling yourself from patterns and limiting beliefs that no longer serve you, as much as it is about cultivating self-acceptance and reconnecting with essential parts of yourself. Together, we will work to define what is true and meaningful for you.

If you've landed here, you've probably spent a while reading bios, looking at photos, trying to sense who might actually understand you. Finding the right fit isn't easy...and it matters.
Whether this is your first time looking for a therapist or you're returning hoping for something different, my goal as a therapist is to get underneath the patterns keeping you stuck. Using clinical hypnosis, we can reach deeper levels, and change tends to feel different... more embodied, more integrated...physically, mentally, and emotionally.
If something here resonates, let's connect...

Clients often come to me because they don't have anyone they can talk to or don't want to burden loved ones. Some seek support for how their or a loved one's health problems have impacted every aspect of their lives. I specialize in working with people with chronic illnesses (cancer, autoimmune illnesses), caregivers (for children, spouses, elderly parents), older adults, & people with cognitive challenges (dementia). I’ve worked with people who are dying and people grieving a loved one's death. I've supported moms (w/babies to adult children) through highs & lows of motherhood w/a compassionate ear & creative problem solving.

Life can be overwhelming, painful, and uncertain—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. My name is Max, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey. My goal is to offer compassion in moments of suffering, support self-discovery during times of confusion, and help cultivate the motivation to live a life aligned with your values and sense of fulfillment. As an undergraduate, I provided affirming care for LGBTQ+ students through the Sac State Pride Center. There, I counseled peers facing the challenges of young adulthood—interpersonal conflict, emotional regulation, identity development, and life transitions.
