You seem to be good at everything *except* your relationship. You know something is off in your relationship, but maybe you just can't quite put your finger on it. Or you know exactly what the problem is, but you're clueless on how to change it. You don't want to give up, walk away, throw in the towel. You want to fight for your marriage. Perhaps there's be infidelity, perhaps many times over. Maybe your partner hid major issues or events, like debts or friendships, and now you can't heal from the betrayal and trust your partner again. Or perhaps you are the one holding the secret, and the shame is keeping you imprisoned in fear.

By all outward accounts, you've done well. But behind closed doors, you find yourself stuck repeating the same reactive patterns. Whether you're facing family struggles, relationship ruptures, or hidden compulsions, true freedom doesn't come from quick fixes—it demands a genuine psychological maturity.
In our work towards that maturity, we'll map your "first formation"—your family system—to discover how you learned to move through the world, using EMDR (if needed) to clear past traumatic bottlenecks. It'll go beyond helping you "feel better": it'll empower you to become the man who can lead his family and leave an enduring legacy.

Most of my patients are doing well by most measures. They're accomplished, capable, and have built something real — professionally, personally, or both. What brings them to therapy isn't a crisis. It's the quieter recognition that performing at a high level for a long time has a cost, and that they haven't had a space to reckon with that cost honestly.
I work with high-achieving adults executives, physicians, attorneys, entrepreneurs — who are navigating burnout, identity questions, relational strain, and the particular kind of exhaustion that doesn't show up on a performance review.

Whether you’re opening your relationship, exploring ethical non-monogamy, or part of an established polycule, it can be hard to find support that truly understands the nuance of your relationships.

As a certified poly and ENM therapist, I can help you and your partners build trust, clarify agreements, enhance intimacy, and deepen connection, so you can experience love authentically and in all the ways that feel true to you.

THERApY SUCkS! Not really. . .. but it can be uncomfortable. I can help. I currently have a waitlist for new clients for standard therapy sessions, however I am taking new clients for intensives. An intensive session is an efficient and novel approach to trauma therapy where we spend anywhere from 2 to 4 hours in focused sessions. Additionally, I offer 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day intensive sessions working with EMDR and/or ART. I am trained in EMDR (through an EMDRIA approved training) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a relatively new, evidence-based therapy for PTSD and trauma. Reach out for a free consult to learn more.

Success is starting to cost you more than it should. The stress is piling up, your relationship is starting to show cracks, or you've turned to secretive behaviors to manage the pressure. The cost of hiding these behaviors is growing in time, risk, and energy. Every moment you wait to fix this only increases the risk to everything you've built. You need an approach that restores control, focus, and performance without losing your edge.

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.
