Do you feel stuck in your relationships? Perhaps you’re struggling to communicate, feeling misunderstood, recovering from infidelity, or drifting apart through major life transitions. Negative cycles of conflict or emotional distance may be leaving you exhausted and desperate for a change. Creating healthy connection can be challenging, but you don’t have to face the task alone. My clients are diverse individuals, couples, and families seeking to build trust, increase intimacy, and ultimately thrive in their relationships.
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, I provide an evidence-based approach to developing presence and secure connection. My expertise lies in fostering open communication and strengthening emotional bonds. Together we’ll understand and reshape the deeply rooted patterns affecting your relationships and instill confidence that changes will last.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I want to assure that you’ll find a safe, supportive space here to share your story. My years of experience include work with clients of varied ages, backgrounds, and relationship orientations. If you’re ready to take the next step toward a life with more ease and connection, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

I studied with Matt in graduate school. His intelligence, articulate speech, and nonjudgmental defaults illustrate the kind of mind you want in the room with you. What a resource he must be in therapy.
