Introduction

A good therapeutic fit should feel like a skipping rock with a notch for your finger. I work with couples experiencing intimacy issues, recovering from infidelity, navigating patterns of conflict, or who just aren't communicating like they want to. I also specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma and want to explore how that impacts their lives as adults. I am a neurodivergent person and I bring competence and expertise in navigating autism and ADHD. I also specialize in working with men ages 20-35 navigating themes like finding purpose and relational hardship. I do not use AI in any part of my therapy process. I bring a casual, conversational, and intentional approach to my work. I use Internal Family Systems as an approach to navigating trauma and interpersonal issues. I also use somatic experiencing techniques to help clients find connection with their bodies and process through past traumas. You don't have to get an A in therapy, nor do you even have to know what's wrong. If you want change, you are in the right place.
