Outside the box counseling.
My clients are thoughtful, self-aware people who have already done a fair amount of personal work — through therapy, coaching, reading, or self-reflection — but still find themselves looping in familiar patterns.
They’re often:
High-functioning but internally exhausted.
Deeply relational, yet struggling to feel secure or understood.
Insightful, but frustrated that insight alone hasn’t created change.
I work with adults and couples who want to move from understanding what’s happening to actually experiencing change — in their nervous systems, relationships, and daily lives.
Common themes include:
Relationships
Relationship and intimacy struggles
Conscious uncoupling, discernment, or clarifying whether to stay or leave
Sexuality, desire, and understanding healthy masculinity
Repeating patterns of conflict or family conflict
Emotional Well-Being
Overfunctioning, burnout, and emotional fatigue
Anxiety, chronic self-doubt, and difficulty setting or maintaining boundaries
Feeling overwhelmed by others’ needs or losing yourself in relationships
Identity & Meaning
Healing family-of-origin dynamics and inherited relational patterns
Navigating major life transitions or identity shifts (career, gender, roles, meaning)
Reclaiming a grounded sense of authenticity, purpose, and direction
Therapy for People Who Think Deeply and Feel Deeply
I work with individuals and couples who are ready to move beyond surface-level fixes and get to the root of what keeps them stuck — in love, in family, and within themselves.
Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware people who have already done a lot of personal work. Still, something feels off. They find themselves repeating the same patterns, struggling to regulate emotions, or unsure how to stay connected without losing themselves.
Together, we slow things down — exploring what’s happening in your nervous system, your history, and your current relationships. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s greater honesty, compassion, and choice in how you show up with yourself and others.
Who I Work With
My Approach
I bring 18 years of teaching and clinical experience, two master’s degrees, and a deep respect for the complexity of being human. My work integrates attachment theory, nervous-system awareness, and emotionally focused principles. I’m active in session — not passive — and I balance warmth with honesty. You can expect a space that’s both challenging and safe, one where growth is possible without judgment.
Finding the right therapist is personal.
If you’d like to get a sense of who I am and how I work, you’re welcome to schedule a brief, no-cost consultation. It’s simply a chance to meet, ask questions, and see if this feels like the right fit for you.
I also offer psycho-education workshops and 1:1 coaching.
