I help my clients transcend cycles they feel stuck in. Together we find ways to reconnect to joy, connection, and spontaneity. My ideal client values building stronger relationships - with themselves, with the people that matter most to them. I have specific training in helping couples create more equitable relationships and satisfying intimacy, addressing the unique needs of men and boys, and acting as a facilitator and witness to help clients find deeper purpose and meaning in their lives.

Throughout our lives, we learn behaviors to cope and feel safe. Perhaps a part of you became a perfectionist to protect a part that fears rejection. Over time, patterns like this can become entrenched, inhibiting our growth and even causing the very pain they were meant to prevent. I can help you identify these patterns and the parts of yourself they protect. Through curiosity and compassion, we can loosen their grip and even befriend them.
Emotions are the currency of attachment. Emotions signal what’s important for us to notice, both for ourselves and in relationship. Attuning to your own emotions and the emotions of others promotes healing and connection. Easier said than done! I use techniques that help individuals and couples slow down, sit with feelings, and gain language to better understand/communicate them. Through this process I help clients foster more secure and satisfying relationships.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a research-backed technique that helps clients feel less distress associated with trauma and painful memories. In fact, after only a session or two, most people feel significantly better about the memories that they process with a trained EMDR therapist. EMDR works through video chat and can be combined with other therapeutic techniques as part of a holistic treatment plan.

I use emotionally focused therapy (EFT), a short term, data-backed therapy approach that leads to more satisfying and longer-lasting relationships. Through our work together you’ll deepen your understanding of your emotional worlds and experience new ways of being together. Build the life you want - one full of connection, groundedness, and love.
Anxiety often indicates that there are other emotions and experiences that want to be felt, but something is blocking access to them. I help clients find and feel what wants to be felt. I use mindfulness and somatic techniques that can enable us to reduce the frequency and intensity of anxiety while we work to excavate its roots.
Many men are led to believe that masculinity itself is toxic. This, of course, is untrue and leaves men feeling even more isolated, ashamed, and confused. So what does "positive" masculinity look like? What does it mean to be a good man? I work with male-identifying folks both individually and in men's groups to explore these questions in a safe, gender-affirming, healing space.
