Psychodynamic 

Psychodynamic therapy helps uncover and understand the unconscious patterns and unresolved conflicts that influence your thoughts. I create a safe space to explore deeper issues around childhood experiences, relationship dynamics, and societal messages that color our beliefs. Gaining insight into the root causes of our challenges leads us to greater self-awareness. It allows us to break free from limiting patterns, develop healthier relationships, and build a more integrated self.

Emotionally Focused

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an attachment-based therapy that helps clients face existential life issues by creating a strong sense of self and resiliency. This type of therapy is experiential and offers corrective experiences to help clients relate better to themselves and others in a safe and secure way.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS believes our minds consist of sub-personalities like a "work part", "romantic part" or even a "self-critical part". Understanding these parts is key, and through IFS therapy, we can cultivate self-leadership to guide them in healthy ways. Compassion for these parts builds trust and leads to a more integrated self.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is a therapy approach that can guide you towards a more meaningful life. It's like having a trusted companion who can help you overcome life's obstacles with greater resilience and poise. Through ACT, you'll learn to release the things that limit you and concentrate on what truly counts. You'll discover how to be mindful of the present, acknowledge your thoughts and emotions, and take purposeful steps toward your objectives.

Transpersonal

Many clients may be looking for a different type of self-exploration and growth. By integrating spiritual, psychological, and existential dimensions, transpersonal therapy goes beyond the individual psyche to explore the interconnectedness of self and the cosmos. I utilize the lens of astrology to help clients gain insight into their unique cosmic blueprint by examining archetypes and symbolism to provide pathways to profound personal insights and alignment with one's authentic path.

Men's Issues

Society often conditions men to "fend for ourselves" which can lead to feelings of isolation and the dangerous belief that seeking help is a sign of weakness. Men account for 75% of deaths by suicide which is why it's essential for men to get the help they need. My goal is to create a space where men feel empowered to talk about their emotions, gain self-awareness, and take proactive steps in their lives, relationships, and sexual identity to lead a healthier more balanced life.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

Are you feeling lonely or disconnected in your relationships? Do you find yourself struggling to form healthy, fulfilling connections with others? If so you are not alone! In our sessions, I help you explore the underlying factors that may be contributing to your difficulties in forming close healthy relationships. Through this understanding, you will be able to develop new skills and strategies to connect with others. You can learn to communicate effectively, set boundaries, and build intimacy.

LGBTQ Issues

As a member of the LGBT+ community, I know what it's like to feel unaccepted and unwanted in society. These negative messages can seep into our souls and make us feel unloveable and out of place. As a gay man, I provide a safe space for candid conversations about LGBT+ issues with someone who understands the unique challenges of our marginalized group. Together, we can find strength in our community and embrace our true selves.

Self-Esteem

Does your inner critic keep tearing you down, telling you you're not good enough? Low self-esteem can make it hard to connect with others and leave you feeling stuck in a negative self-image. Through therapy, we'll work together to challenge that critical voice and develop a more positive and compassionate relationship with yourself. You don't have to face this alone – let's build a safe space where you can be seen and heard without judgment.

Anxiety

Do you feel like a hypervigilant detective, always on the lookout for danger? Negative scenarios playing on repeat in your head, leaving you feeling stuck? Together, we'll dig deep to uncover the roots of your anxiety and develop tools to move forward with confidence and momentum toward your goals.
