Therapy begins with safety. Starting the process can feel vulnerable, so I create a space where you feel understood and accepted as you are. My approach is somatic and experiential, engaging mind and body to work with trauma, attachment wounds, and long-standing patterns. Guided by current research in memory and neuroplasticity, we use methods that help reprocess difficult experiences and support the mind and body’s natural capacity to heal.

I specialize in working with adults who have experienced ongoing childhood trauma (CPTSD) and elders who are struggling to find meaning and grounding in a complex, fast-moving world that often overlooks their suffering. My approach is rooted in depth-oriented work, drawing from Jungian psychology, dream exploration, creative expression, parts work, and EMDR.
In our first few sessions, you can expect me to listen closely and reflect back a clear, attuned understanding of what you’re going through. Together, we’ll begin to map out a path forward—one that doesn’t just manage symptoms, but works at the root of your experience.

People come to therapy at all different points in their life. Whether you're returning to better understand a new situation or coming for the first time to explore opportunities for growth, I am here to meet you where you're at. In my experience, people seek change when they are not fully aligned with the person they want to be. Our work together will be to identify these misalignments, to learn how to empathize with how they came to be, and to find strategies for letting go of things that that no longer serve in order to find a sense of self we can feel proud of.

You might’ve considered therapy for a while, or are seeking a new therapist for a new life chapter. You may be feeling overwhelmed, unable to relax, or even buried underneath your life and are wondering how you ended up here. Maybe it started at a certain workplace, a school, a move, a relationship change, a loss, or when you developed a condition. Or maybe it started earlier in life. This may sound especially familiar to those who are: LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, have chronic conditions, disability, first-gen, working in/retiring from tech, entertainment, or finance.

Hello! You may not know me, but I am very much looking forward to getting to know you. I approach my work through a strengths-based and trauma-informed lens. I tend to work with issues of identity; relational, family, and intergenerational complexity; LGBTIQ, gender and sexual diversity; kink; trauma, abuse, and C-PTSD; grief, spirituality, existential questions, meaning-making; men’s issues, and the many ways people experience and relate to their bodies. As a side note, I’m also a hospice chaplain and ordained clergyperson with an MDiv. If you wanted to bring faith or spirituality into our conversations, that's entirely up to you.

I help high-performers overcome the complex stressors of their professional and personal lives using cognitive behavioral therapies, sport psychology, and holistic mind-body interventions. I collaborate with clients to help them anxiety, life transitions, family or relationship conflict, grief, and trauma, all of which shows up for them at work or in life in unexpected ways.

Most people look to you for the answer and you usually have it. Solving problems isn't the issue for you; rather, you hide parts of yourself and you're wrestling with confidence, shame, loneliness, or anxiety. You may consistently seek the next hit of happiness or confidence, but it's fleeting. My goal is to help alleviate the issues you've carrying. We will look at various parts of yourself and find what's working and what's not to deepen insights and find pragmatic solutions, so you can live in more alignment. I have success helping clients improve relationships, understand their emotions and others, and live more authentically.
