I work with adults and couples who are feeling anxious, stuck in relationship patterns, or at a turning point in their lives. Many of my clients are thoughtful, sensitive, or introspective people who want more than symptom relief and are seeking deeper understanding, healing, and meaning. Some come after trying therapy before and wanting something more relational, embodied, and transformative.
Specialties
Depth-oriented therapy looks beneath surface symptoms to understand the emotional, relational, and unconscious patterns shaping your life. We may explore dreams, inner images, body experience, and present-moment interactions to support healing, integration, and meaningful change over time.
Relational therapy emphasizes the healing power of connection. I attend closely to the therapeutic relationship as a space for understanding patterns, building trust, and experiencing new ways of relating. This approach supports repair, authenticity, and deeper connection both in and outside of therapy.
Somatic therapy includes attention to the body’s signals, sensations, and rhythms. By bringing awareness to embodied experience, we support nervous system regulation, emotional integration, increased intuition and self-trust, and a greater sense of grounded presence. This approach helps clients reconnect with their body’s innate intelligence.
Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships continue to shape emotional life and patterns of connection. This work supports greater security, self-understanding, and more fulfilling relationships by addressing relational needs with care, pacing, and attunement.
I take an holistic and integrative approach, thoughtfully blending depth psychology, relational work, somatic awareness, and other perspectives as appropriate. Therapy is tailored to each person rather than following a single model, supporting growth that feels authentic, grounded, and sustainable.
Specialties
I help clients understand anxiety as meaningful information rather than something to simply eliminate. Together, we explore the emotional and relational patterns beneath anxiety and develop greater calm, resilience, and self-trust.
Many men come to therapy navigating identity questions, anxiety, relationships, or a sense of disconnection. I work with you to reconnect with yourself, build self-trust and grounded confidence, and better understand your emotions and relationships. Therapy supports authenticity, clarity, and deeper relationships.
Self-esteem work often involves reconnecting with a more authentic and integrated sense of self. We explore internalized beliefs, emotional experiences, and relational patterns that shape how you see yourself. Therapy supports greater confidence, self-trust, and alignment between your values, actions, and inner life.
Many people long for deeper, more satisfying sex and intimacy. I work with you through a depth-oriented lens, exploring patterns around safety, trust, and shame that shape intimacy. Therapy also offers a space to expand your understanding of what sexuality can be, supporting greater connection, vitality, and authentic expression.
I support clients exploring questions of meaning, faith, identity, and inner life. This may include working within or alongside spiritual traditions, periods of questioning or transition, or a desire for deeper connection and purpose. Therapy offers a grounded space to integrate spiritual experience with emotional and relational well-being.
