Let's face it: Therapy won't fix your boss, your in-laws or your toddler's new maniacal scream laugh - but it might help your survive them without hiding in your car with snacks all the time. I work with individuals, couples and families navigating transitions or stuck places—co-parenting, infidelity, divorce, grief, religious trauma, identity questions, or that vague but real “Who am I anymore?” I’m especially drawn to work around deconstruction, men’s mental health, neurodivergence, existential crises, and sex and intimacy.
I would love to tell you that I'm the best therapist in the whole wide world and perfect for you. And so I will! I AM the best therapist in the whole wide world! You found me! Congrats. The reality is that you are your own best therapist. My role is to show you compassion, empathy and awareness so that you can learn to give yourself these gifts.
So if you like some humor, a little irreverence and a whole lot of compassion as part of your therapy, come on and stop by. I offer 15 minute phone consults to see if we would be a good fit together. In our work together, I’ll invite you to be honest, to be human, and to take small risks toward something better.

I specialize in working with relationship and families of all types of configurations. We will work together to flesh out your sense of identity and strengths. I will hold space for you during difficult moments in session, and we'll also laugh a bit and probably swear some too. I focus on connection and building on your strengths to meet your goals.

At the end of the day, connection is greater than treatment type. I work from an attachment based, emotionally focused lens. Self-compassion and awareness will be topics that we will often return to. It is hard for everyone, no one is ok and we all need each other.
