I am an LGBTQ+ affirming, polyamory friendly therapist with a focus on navigating relationship issues with individuals and couples.
I take a warm, empathic approach and create a safe space to explore whatever may be holding you back from achieving more joy, connection, and authenticity in your life. I use evidence-based techniques to help you recognize patterns that are no longer serving you and to develop more adaptive coping skills. In addition to issues surrounding romantic relationships, I focus on individuals struggling with body image, perfectionism, feelings of imposter syndrome and addiction and the underlying shame. Therapy is a collaboration; together we'll set treatment goals, work toward those goals and evaluate our progress.

I work exclusively with couples who are seeking a secure relationship. Relationships are complex for so many reasons, but often not the reasons you think. Together we figure out what gets in the way of you having a relationship that is based on security and true collaboration. "Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals." said Mahatma Gandhi. Many couples I meet in my office lack the solid foundation to build a peaceful, vital relationship. Without a secure base and solid structure, partners can't relax and be themselves. A secure relationship both grounds and develops each partner.

I think the Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney sang it best, "I get by with a little help from my friends". All the interconnections with people, good or bad, have profoundly impacted who we are; the therapeutic relationship is another profound crossing of paths where deep calls to deep, and a little help on the journey is sacred. I work from a dynamic view of personhood and explore the interconnections of mind, body and soul. There is a profound dynamic in the therapeutic process, finding a therapist where one can feel connected to is essential to personal change through an authentic, vulnerable relationship.

"Without awareness, we are not truly alive" - James F. T. Bugental. The purpose of psychotherapy is to awaken the individual and increase insight through exploration of their life, choices, and resistance's. This examination is a personal journey and different for each person. Although difficult and challenging at times, it is a courageous endeavor that can lead to life long positive changes, new ways of being in the world, and a deeper meaning and purpose for one's life.

I primarily utilize a Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approach to therapy. Through being a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) and a trained EMDR practitioner, I am able to advocate for clients through a trauma-informed lens. I believe cognitions influence behavior and early childhood events can shape how one views themselves, others, and the world. This results in learned patterns of thinking and behavior that can be brought to awareness with counseling. I am certified to work with couples as a SYMBIS and Gottman Level 1 clinician by focusing on communication skills while restoring friendship and trust in the relationship.

Men often feel the pressure to surpass an ideal, and falling short of it can lead to anxiety, depression, and other difficulties. It's important to talk to someone who understands the male experience and can help you recover your life. As a "wounded healer," I understand the struggles of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, and self-harm. These challenges can impact every aspect of our lives, from relationships to work and hobbies. But there is hope.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
