Do you feel stuck—in your life, relationships, or even within yourself? Maybe there's a version of you that feels more whole, connected, and alive… yet somehow just out of reach. Whether you’re seeking change or trying to make sense of your story, you don’t have to do it alone.
I work with individuals and couples using a relational, experiential approach grounded in Attachment Theory, incorporating Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). These evidence-based models help us explore how your inner world and past experiences shape your present—and how healing happens through safe, compassionate connection.

I believe you deserve the opportunity to meet your most authentic and confident self and to find joy in the journey of doing so. Whether that means healing from trauma, finding where you belong, or learning how to get out of your own way— we can work together to make space in your life for what matters, and that's you. I also acknowledge that each of us exists within larger systems (some of which can be inherently unjust) and that building such a life often requires you to find belongingness and support both from within and from without. I strive to make therapy a healing space but also approachable, safe, and even silly sometimes!

In the world today, there are countless things that we often pursue in the hopes of happiness, only to fall short. We ask ourselves, "Why am I still depressed? Why am I still anxious?" As we pursue "happiness," distractions impair our ability to make healthy decisions, and we never get a chance to know what we are thinking. Much of our habits stem from trauma or memories unpleasant enough, we make attempts to avoid the discomfort of the emotions the memories bring.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
