Hi, I'm Matt! I'm a no-nonsense, highly strategic relationship therapist specializing in active, investigative, and structural therapies. My goal is to help you as a couple, polycule, or individual deepen your relationship with yourself and the people you love. Together we will uncover root causes, connect surprising dots, and help you develop body-regulating relationships, even with your most complex or confusing parts. Book a free consultation if you're looking to communicate more effectively, deepen emotional bonds, make more authentic decisions, change frustrating patterns, or feel more pleasurably alive in your life and body.
I was a transformational corporate leader for a decade before changing my life and relationships using the same tools I share with my clients. I blend evidence-based techniques (I'm a trained Internal Family Systems therapist) and customize a plan with you that balances safety, trust, and transparency with hard truths and surmountable challenges.
I'm direct, insightful, and work with clients who value healing and growth over comfort. We’re not just talking about your week, we're targeting wounds with surgical precision. We will go to dark places together, and sometimes it will hurt before it gets better, but if reading this excites even a small part of you...then maybe we're onto something already.

Because of my direct, get-in-there approach, I'm a natural mediator, connector, and interpreter between people and parts who think, feel, and communicate differently. This makes my work especially effective for people in conflict with themselves or others.

I know finding a therapist match and starting this work can sometimes be frustrating or scary, but I'll often ease you into the process with an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach as it can be an effective way of organizing, mapping, and understanding confusing feelings and behaviors. From there, we'll integrate many therapy techniques as needed to build a safe, custom, reparative plan for you.
