Do you feel nervous or anxious? Does your mind feel like a hamster wheel that never stops? If so, you are not alone, and I’m here to help. I specialize in attachment, anxiety, and mood disorders. I find that root causes of these challenges often stem from childhood attachment wounds, or relationally based trauma. Sometimes this looks like emotionally absent or narcissistic parents, or a parent who struggled with their mental health. Since mood disorders can be hereditary, I am careful to differentiate diagnosable mental health conditions from common trauma responses. My goal is to help you find relief and embrace your authenticity.

As a husband and father, I value the deeply personal ways we build family and connection. Whether you are navigating a conventional marriage or a non-conforming, expansive partnership, this online space is a soft landing. Having managed a sudden neurological illness affecting my balance and senses, I know the toll of unexpected health stressors. With 12 years doing emergency psych assessments in the ER, very little overwhelms me. Licensed since 2015—with perspectives shaped by having lived in Ecuador—I help people dismantle loops of anxiety, depression, or autism when life feels derailed.

I draw from a blend of humanistic, liberation, narrative, relational, and psychodynamic therapy approaches; all while maintaining an ecosystemic perspective in understanding individual experience.
My focus is in working with clients who live in some way that is outside of a typical societal expectation or norm. My style is rooted in the idea of collective liberation, and my clients are most often fellow queer people, conscientious parents and caregivers, those living with chronic illness, survivors of relational and systemic trauma; those with body types, cultural identities, family or relationship structures that are non-normative.

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in a persons present behavior.
Here, you will find sanctuary—a space where you will be seen and gently understood. You will be offered a place to rest, and unload your inner burden, as you journey at your own pace, into the parts of yourself yearning to be explored and healed. In a world that often rushes by, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, lost, or sad, especially for those who view life through a deeply creative and introspective lens. If you’re seeking a space where your thoughts and feelings are not only heard but deeply valued, you've found a welcoming place.

Therapy should feel like a place where you can show up as yourself, especially when life feels overwhelming or unclear. I work with adolescents and adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their direction in life. A lot of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally dealing with anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on understanding what’s going on, noticing patterns, and figuring out what actually helps you feel more grounded and like yourself again.

The therapy modalities I use the most are Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy - that said I am trained in may other techniques, as I think different problems and different people call for different methods.
You can't understand why with all the therapy you have done, you still don't feel substantially better. Sometimes you think it's analogous to knowing all about the parts of a bike and how it works, but you are still unable to actually ride the bike. You know all about your depression, anxiety or trauma - but you don't feel better.
I also am an approved assistant teacher and session provider through Somatic Experiencing International.

Psychodynamic Therapists
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
