I am passionately committed to supporting couples in their pursuit of more expansive authenticity, creativity, connection, and adaptive habits toward relational intelligence and self growth. I welcome all folks including queer/ LGBTQ+ communities, as well as twins and multiples - I’m both gay and a twin!
My therapeutic perspective is informed by Attachment and Family Systems theories. I frequently lean on Cognitive Behavior Therapy, yet incorporate insight and therapeutic assignments from psychodynamic research. I share humor and philosophies on humanism and eroticism, and help you find more nuance and pleasure in your relationships and with yourselves.
One common factor in all therapeutic relationships is the connection between you and me. I invite you to feel this out and discuss as we get to know one another. I look forward to working with you!

We begin by sharing what brought you to therapy and what you hope to accomplish here. Depending on those conversations, we might flesh out your relational dynamics, map your past blueprints informing those dynamics, and/or play with an experiential approach to loops you could be getting stuck in. Because your view of the therapeutic process is unique to you, I help tailor our sessions to fit that!
