I bring over 20 years of clinical experience supporting adults across both military and civilian settings.
If therapy hasn’t worked for you, there’s a reason.
You’re showing up, doing the work, and still not getting better — irritable, overwhelmed, not sleeping, or feeling “off” no matter how much insight you have.
That’s not a motivation problem.
It usually means something is being missed.

Much of my work focuses on men’s relational and emotional well-being, especially those who present as high-functioning while quietly struggling. My clients often initially measure their identity or worth through success, responsibility, or likability within community. Beneath that, hidden shame, fear of rejection, or long-standing patterns of people-pleasing have left them feeling anxious, disconnected, or unknown. I also support gay, bisexual, and queer men navigating the tension between authenticity and attachment, exploring how early experiences of conditional belonging shaped the ways they relate to themselves and others

If you’re feeling stuck in overwhelm, anxiety, trauma or self-sabotage and can’t think your way out—it’s not you. These patterns live in the nervous system and aren’t accessible through cognitive insight alone. Somatic work unlocks your body's natural capacity to resolve stuck patterns and restore balance.
By bringing the body into the conversation, completing motor impulses, and reorganizing around safety- deep, subtle shifts occur at the root level. This is exactly how you are wired to adapt and change. Somatic work can be a powerful complement to traditional talk therapy—or stand alone as an effective path to healing.
