My goal for any client or couple is to meet you exactly where you are to move forward with strength and authenticity. No matter how depressed, discouraged, disconnected, anxious, or confused you might feel right now I believe in your ability to know yourself, heal yourself, and grow yourself. I support your ability to tune into the real you to live more authentically, to figure yourself out and have richer, deeper relationships. I see athletes, overachievers, adult men, and smart/sensitive types of all kinds; also ambitious couples & families who want to build better relationships together.
My style is a bit unorthodox. Clients tell me I am direct and unafraid to use humor and irreverence to invite them into the work. I am warm, straightforward, occasionally playful but always respectful and authentic. I love helping people like you find their way forward by building connection, taking action, and maximizing the strengths you already have.
My professional background is in education, entertainment, restaurants, running, and coaching. I do offer mental performance work; as a former jock who really gets athletes I have made athlete mental health my specialty. I also thrive with adult men, overachievers, new dads/husbands, and motivated couples. I am LGBTQ+ affirmative, poly-and kink-supporting.

I combine psychodynamic, family systems, somatic experiencing, and strengths-based principles into my practice. Your first sessions focus on understanding what brought you to therapy and what you want to address, while tapping into your background and your body to help us help you direction and tools on where to go next. We will always go at your pace.
