My clients typically come to me when they are:

  1. Feeling Disconnected: Struggling to identify or articulate their emotional world.

  2. Ready for Change: You're beginning to recognize that old ways of coping or protecting yourself aren't working like they once did, and you're curious about finding a different way forward.

  3. Carrying The Past: Past childhood wounds impacting present day life

  4. Seeking Deeper Understanding: You want to better understand the patterns, protective parts, and experiences that have shaped who you are today.

Taking a Step Deeper of Clients I work With

  • Carrying Childhood Experiences Into Adulthood

    You may recognize that the family you grew up in shaped the way you experience yourself and relationships today.

    Maybe you learned to keep the peace, take care of others, stay small, perform, achieve, avoid conflict, or keep difficult emotions to yourself.

    Your childhood doesn't have to fit neatly into a particular definition of trauma for those experiences to matter.

    Therapy can help us become curious about what you learned, how those adaptations helped you, and whether they still serve you in the same way today.

  • Men Navigating Emotion, Identity & Relationships

    I have a particular interest in working with men who want a different relationship with their emotional lives.

    You may have learned that being strong meant staying composed, figuring things out yourself, or keeping certain emotions private.

    Anger may feel easier to access than sadness. Accomplishment may feel more comfortable than vulnerability. You may care deeply about your relationships while struggling to put what you're experiencing into words.

    Therapy can provide a space to explore masculinity, relationships, vulnerability, anger, anxiety, identity, intimacy, and the emotional experiences that may not have always had room elsewhere.

  • Adults in Their Twenties & Thirties

    Your twenties and thirties can bring a strange combination of possibility and pressure.

    Careers develop. Relationships become more serious. Families change. Questions about marriage, identity, purpose, friendship, sexuality, children, finances, and the future can become increasingly difficult to ignore.

    At the same time, you may begin recognizing patterns from childhood or previous relationships that you hadn't noticed before.

    Therapy can provide space to slow down and explore who you are becoming rather than simply moving toward who you think you're supposed to be.

  • "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way."
