Hi, I'm Tony and my therapy practice is a space of hope, clarity, and limitless compassion, especially for therapists, healers, and helpers who've been carrying too much for far too long. My work honors the weight you’ve had to hold during these painful times, and the care you’ve given during this era of struggle, untended grief, and systemic injustices. Maybe you’re just barely coping, lost, overburdened, or depleted. Together, I'll journey with you to a new place of steadiness, discovery, and relief. My work is about reconnection, growth, and finally feeling genuinely supported. You've deserved real care all along. I know it.
I bring many years of knowledge, context, training, and grounding to my work. As a therapist, sociologist, and community activist, I combine a wide range of impactful psychosocial and somatic approaches to support your freedom, safety, and boundless growth. I do this by bringing care, integrity, and truly radical compassion to my practice.
Therapy is a brave but daunting experience, but especially when you're not used to receiving real care. Know that together we can explore life and heal to a new place of openness and ease... or just finally exhale, feel clearer, and restore. You deserve real forgiveness and insight, finally. Always feel welcome to reach out anytime. I'm here for you.

Most of all, I work with healers who are struggling to understand why things have been so hard, why they're so worn down, and what it might be like for real change to happen. I'll help you grow warmer connections, deeper trust, greater freedom, and a powerful empathy. And I'll walk with you toward new energy, new meaning, new love, and a new care for life... and for the world around us.

My primary styles are Emotionally-Focused (EFT) and Acceptance & Commitment (ACT), grounded in Somatic Abolition and radical community practice. Across our work together, these will help us put down the hard expectations of systemic and historical pressures, if only for a moment. Most importantly, I use these and other tools to build greater trust, awareness, and equity in the present moment.
