Do you feel not "enough"? Do you struggle with people-pleasing? Likely, you’ve spent much of your life hiding your true self—shaping yourself to fit what others want or accept. You may find yourself in relationships or situations with people who just don't "get" you. Somewhere along the way, you were taught that expressing yourself is wrong—that you should hide your emotions or needs because they're not okay. You have no idea what you need or you fear you will be rejected for having needs at all. You feel alone in your relationships, yearning for community of people who accept you for you.
Together, we will work towards you having a better understanding of yourself, your relational needs, and obstacles to living the life you want. We will identify and resolve the relational patterns causing you to feel stuck using attachment-based and somatic interventions. I am certified in EMDR, trained in EFT, and completed Level 1 Gottman Method Training.
This work is about real, lasting change—shifting your mindset, rewriting your story, and reconnecting with your purpose. If you’re ready to stop playing the role of the people-pleaser and start living authentically, let’s talk. You’ve done the hard part by getting this far. Now, let’s work together, reach out today.

Groups
GBTQ Men's Process Group-Online only
Men in the LGBTQ+ community can have a particularly challenging time connecting emotionally with other men. After years of questioning if you are "good enough" or "okay", you may have trouble showing up authentically in relationships—left in isolation and depression. This group is for gay, bisexual, pansexual, trans, and queer-identified men who want to grow in their connection to themselves and others! I use a modern analytic approach combined with neurobiology, attachment, and trauma-informed work to explore how to be in connection with others.
