I have two primary areas of focus: couples and men. When couples feel stuck they tend to limit their perspectives and possibilities and blame each other. I work to identify entrenched patterns of dysfunction and offer realistic and practical forms of communication that foster improved connection, trust and hope. I encourage couples to take responsibility for the relationship they have created and support them to embody their authentic selves within their relationship. I utilize Psychodynamic, Family Systems & Attachment-Focused therapy to focus on how your history impacts your current relationships.
I help men work on healthy masculinity, codependency, anger, shame & self-esteem. Navigating manhood is challenging, with outside forces/expectations impacting how men experience satisfaction in their lives. I provide a safe space for you to nurture & deepen your relationship with yourself, so that you can effectively align your purpose, values and behavior.
Choosing therapy is courageous. Choosing a therapist can feel daunting. Choosing a therapist from a website? Even more so. Be assured that there is a compassionate human behind this profile who is skilled and committed to helping you bravely address your concerns. Contact me to set up a free consultation to see if we are a good match.
