I believe that therapy can help us see the unconscious patterns of behavior that we unknowingly live our lives within; that it can help us find some distance from our up-close feelings, and see ourselves with kindness; that it can bring vitality to stagnation, and enliven our sense of creativity; that it can help us pursue our desires; that it can be a place where we wrestle with the things we thought were true, and find comfort in the midst of uncertainty; that it can reveal something about the relationships we seek; and that it can teach us how to grieve our yesterdays, find gratitude for today, and hope for tomorrow.
I am a depth-oriented psychotherapist and my approach is informed by relational psychoanalysis. In session, we will pay attention to the underlying beliefs, emotions, and relationships that have influenced who you are. The goal of this work is to bring awareness, kindness, and understanding in order to help you live a more confident, fulfilling life.
At Shelterwood Collective, I provide therapy for individuals and couples. My practice focuses on working with men around issues concerning identity, relationships, and sexuality. To talk more about therapy, ask questions, or set up an appointment, please reach out. I look forward to meeting you!
