Something has felt off for a while. Not dramatically wrong.. just a persistent sense that you're not fully living as yourself. You overthink, you people-please, you carry more than anyone around you realizes. You've been the steady one your whole life, and it's rare for others to show genuine interest in how you're doing.
I work with intelligent, sensitive, and neurodivergent adults who are ready for therapy that actually goes deep. Attachment-based, experiential, fully relational. The kind of work where you don't just talk about change, you experience it.
You deserve to be met at the level you operate at. That's what I offer.

A pleasure to meet you! Therapy with me is about co-creating a hearth - a therapeutic space for warmth, restoration, and growth along life’s journeys. I work with individuals and families who have experienced the effects of anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction, relational trauma, and complex trauma. These effects often leave us in chaotic cycles of either burning things to the ground or feeling cold and alone. I also am passionate about working with neurodivergent folks (ADHD and Autism) who have maybe felt outcast in their search for connection. Together, we rest and reflect on whatever creating a warm home means to you.

I specialize in outsiders, those who think differently, live intensely, or feel too unconventional for standard therapy. From high performers to those hearing voices: if your thoughts run deep, your moods run strong, or your experiences feel unusual, you’re in the right place. I’ve helped clients stabilize mood swings, overcome depression, manage hallucinations, and earn promotions. Having faced PTSD myself, I know how dark life can seem, and how hope can return. Together, we’ll play detective, unearth the roots of your struggles, and optimize interventions that resonate with you. Accepting new clients. In-person sessions available.

Emotional, psychological, and interpersonal/social growth is a continual process of self transformation and change. At points when one feels stuck or confused in that process, or when life just isn't working, it often helps to connect with a therapist. I provide a safe space where you can be, or recover/rediscover, your authentic self; deepen the emotional connection with yourself and others; clarify thoughts, beliefs, and values; consider new ways of being in the world and w/others; develop healthier adaptive strategies for relating to yourself and others; and work through past and/or present griefs and traumas.

I specialize in Men's Issues, the loss of trust, the loss of identity, addictions and all traumas - particularly childhood trauma.
We specialize in helping men who feel like they have to handle everything on their own. Most of us were taught to “man up,” “get over it,” or keep our emotions buried. So we learn to deal with stress quietly—turning to pornography, alcohol, overwork, or distractions just to get a break from what’s underneath.
As men, we lie, we defend, we run. We chase peace and acceptance, even if it’s temporary or fake. We pull away from people we love, telling ourselves, “No one cares about my needs but me,” or “If they really knew me, they wouldn’t love me.”

I love working with motivated clients who are seeking to actively improve their social and emotional functioning. I believe therapy is more than fixing specific problems but instead therapy is a place of growth where skills can be applied across different settings for overall life improvement.

There’s a reason you’re here. You may look like you're holding it together, but underneath you're exhausted. Maybe you're constantly worried about disappointing people, questioning yourself in relationships, or feeling disconnected from who you actually are. Maybe life has felt heavier than usual, or the stories you’ve been carrying about who you should be no longer match up with who you want to be. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to sort through it alone.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
