Relational 

My Marriage and Family Therapy training taught me to pay close attention to what happens between people. Relationships shape us, and the therapeutic relationship is part of the work itself. Together, we'll explore patterns of connection and disconnection and what becomes possible when you can experience a relationship that is honest, collaborative, and genuinely human.

Existential

Existential ideas inform much of how I think about therapy: meaning, freedom, responsibility, uncertainty, and the question of how we want to live. I use these ideas practically, helping clients understand where they feel stuck and explore the choices, values, and possibilities available to them.

Narrative 

Narrative therapy helps us examine the stories you've inherited about who you are and who you're supposed to be. By separating you from the problems you're facing and questioning stories that no longer fit, we can make room for a more intentional way of understanding yourself and your life.

Attachment Theory

Attachment helps us understand how early relationships can shape the ways we seek connection, respond to conflict, protect ourselves, and experience closeness. Exploring these patterns can help make sense of reactions that otherwise seem confusing—and create opportunities for relating differently.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I draw from CBT when practical tools can help you understand and interrupt patterns that keep you stuck. Rather than treating thoughts as simply “wrong,” we can examine the loops between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and circumstances—and experiment with different ways of responding.

Men's Issues

I work with men and teenage boys who are questioning what they've been taught about masculinity, relationships, strength, and what it means to be a man. Some are struggling openly; others are functioning well on the outside while feeling disconnected, angry, anxious, or uncertain underneath. Therapy can offer a place to question inherited expectations without judgment and develop a way of living that feels more honest and genuinely your own.

Child or Adolescent Issues

Adolescence can be a strange space between dependence and independence, where identity, relationships, expectations, and belonging are all changing at once. I particularly enjoy working with teens and teenage boys who may not always know how to talk about what they're experiencing. Therapy gives them room to be taken seriously, explore who they're becoming, and develop greater agency without feeling like they're being lectured or fixed.

Anxiety

I don't view anxiety as evidence that something is wrong with you. Often, anxiety is connected to what matters to us, what feels uncertain, or what we're trying to protect ourselves from. Rather than simply trying to force symptoms away, we'll explore what your anxiety may be communicating about your relationships, expectations, boundaries, and vulnerabilities—and develop more flexibility in how you respond to uncertainty.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

Relationships can become places where the same arguments, misunderstandings, and patterns repeat even when both people want something different. I work with couples to slow those patterns down and understand what's happening underneath the conflict. The goal isn't to decide who is right, but to create greater honesty, understanding, responsiveness, and possibility in how you relate to one another.

Personal Growth

This isn't about self-improvement checklists. It's about understanding yourself well enough to make choices that actually feel like your own. I work with people who feel stuck, disconnected, or increasingly aware that familiar ways of moving through the world no longer fit. Together, we'll explore the patterns, relationships, and assumptions shaping your life so you can move beyond automatic responses and toward greater agency and intention.
