My Approach to Helping
If you struggle with childhood trauma or neglect, anxiety, self-esteem, shame and inadequacy, depression, or relationships, I can help. Are you unsatisfied in your life and relationships, or confused about why your issues persist despite your efforts to change? Do you yearn to feel more confident, safe, and whole? If you believe you have the potential to change but are unsure how to get there, you don’t have to walk the path alone. Drawing upon cutting-edge attachment-based, somatic, mindfulness, and cognitive approaches, our work will empower you to change in unexpected ways and discover pathways to a truly fulfilling life.
In each session, I strive to help you feel understood and supported, and to create an authentic human connection that can soften and transform stuck emotional patterns leftover from the past. I help my clients understand their challenges with new clarity that points the way forward, and empower them with tools to create change inside and outside of sessions.
I believe the trials of life can help us grow and find resilience, but we don’t need to get stuck in the looping pain of our wounds or in defenses that once served a purpose but have now been outgrown. Together we will tend to the pain and rawness of your experiences but also open new channels to ease, joy, and the parts of life that make it all worth it.
While I work with all genders in my practice, I have unique insights in working with men. I am passionate about working with men around issues such as:
- Discovering and pursuing your purpose
- Expressing your needs and feelings in ways that create connection, rather than push it away
- Relationship problems
- Porn addiction
- Working with anger
- Anxiety & depression
- Learning to tend to your wounds and vulnerabilities with wisdom and care so that they deepen, rather than obstruct, the journey of your life
