Many people come to therapy because they want things to feel different, even if they aren't sure how yet. Maybe anxiety keeps you overthinking, relationships feel harder than they should, or you're carrying experiences that continue to affect how you see yourself and others. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling frustrated that they understand their struggles intellectually but still find themselves repeating the same patterns. Therapy is hear to help you understand yourself, not create more rules to live by. My goal is not to "fix" you. It's to help you build a healthier relationship with yourself.

I specialize in the treatment individuals and couples dealing with sexual addiction (Problematic Sexual Behavior - PSB) and have for 20 years, treating hundreds of addicts and their partners. I am certified in treating sex addiction (S-PSB). PSBs reflect underlying problems in relationships, emotional attachment, affect management, and impulse control. Treatment engages the whole person, not merely suppression of problem behaviors. Therapy requires compassion, acceptance, and respect. I combine knowledge and wisdom with understanding, creativity, and humor in a down-to-earth, practical approach.

Do you often feel lonely in a crowded room? Do you find yourself getting caught up in reckless choices—chasing a fleeting sense of aliveness—only to end up feeling empty and isolated? Have you worked hard to live up to expectations, only to realize the life you’re living doesn’t feel like your own? Often times the behaviors that cause us the most pain and disconnection from ourselves and our relationships are motivated by self-protection. My hope is to co-create an environment of relational safety where you and I can honor and release the defensive strategies that you've outgrown.

I work from a person-centered approach, which means you’re steering this thing and I’m in the passenger seat calling out the blind spots.

My practice combines elements of acceptance and commitment therapy, narrative therapy, ecotherapy, and stoic and existential philosophy, among others, and leans heavily into the dynamic and ever-emerging collaborative relationship between client and therapist, drawing on principles of interpersonal neurobiology and theories of attachment. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in meaning-making and the identification and practice of values: ways in which we can live more vitally, authentically, and in a manner that is in accordance with who we envision ourselves to be.

Are you an athlete constantly worried about your sport performance? Have you recently been injured and find your mood has taken a nose dive as you wait for your body to heal, afraid you will not return to the same level of fitness as before? Are body image issues or your relationship to food having a negative impact on your sport? Or maybe you are at the end of your sport career, struggling to let it go and confused about your identity outside of your sport. Have you turned to substances to cope? Is your team less cohesive and more conflicted, losing focus and competing more with each other than against your actual opponents?
