Attachment Theory

I specialize in helping individuals and couples understand their attachment patterns and take concrete steps toward developing secure attachment. Attachment plays a central role in most romantic relationships, as well as in many family and close friendship dynamics. While much of the existing literature on attachment focuses on identifying these patterns, it often falls short in providing practical tools and strategies to work through attachment issues and foster earned secure relationships.

Couples Counseling

One of my areas of passion is couples therapy and relational conflict. With the right support and container, conflict can be an incredible path to deeper intimacy. I specialize in helping couples move through blame and criticism and into greater trust and understanding. I often support clients experiencing triggers and reactivity, sexual issues, attachment conflict, and difficulty communicating.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS (Internal Family Systems) is an incredible modality that helps us better understand our many parts and discover what they are trying to protect us from. "Parts Work" allows us to navigate and understand our conflicting needs and impulses. I love using IFS as a framework to foster understanding and non-judgment toward these parts. In a culture where self-criticism and self-hatred are so prevalent, IFS offers a powerful counterbalance— a way to gently facilitate change rather than force it.

Hakomi

Hakomi somatic therapy helps us connect with the sensations, emotions, and intuitions within our bodies. Deepening and exploring these connections can be transformative in many ways— from gaining a clearer understanding of our emotions, so we can care for or communicate them in real time, to accessing deep intuition about our needs, what our bodies truly want, and what we might need to heal. Stepping out of our thoughts and into our bodies is often a powerful catalyst for change and growth.

Transpersonal

I find great fulfillment in supporting clients as they explore or deepen their connection to the mystery of life, whether through spirituality, psychedelics, or ceremonial practices. I believe that connecting to something greater than ourselves can be profoundly transformative and should always be approached with care, respect, and a sense of wonder.

Anxiety

Anxiety is the embodiment of fear—a signal from our body that we are experiencing a lack of safety. Working with anxiety in the body provides a deeper, more nuanced understanding of what needs to be addressed, whether it’s nervous system healing, trauma, relationship conflict, or the impact of excessive technology. For me, anxiety has been a generational inheritance and a lifelong practice of discerning where to make changes in my life and where to work through fear in order to recognize safety.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

One of my areas of passion is couples therapy and relational conflict. With the right support and container, conflict can be an incredible path to deeper intimacy. I specialize in helping couples move through blame and criticism and into greater trust and understanding. I often support clients experiencing triggers and reactivity, sexual issues, attachment conflict, and difficulty communicating.

Loss or Grief

Grief is a pathway to a deeper understanding of ourselves and what we truly care about. I encourage anyone who has not yet had the opportunity to sit with their grief—whether in therapy or, even better, in a grief ceremony—to do so. In these spaces, you can grieve, release, and be held in community. Grief can be a gift that brings connection, wisdom, and growth. It is a powerful force that our culture does not teach us the has value.

Men's Issues

I specialize in helping men redefine what masculinity can be. As men we can work to strip away the conditioning that keeps us isolated and that makes us feel that the empowerment of other men, women, and different cultures is a threat to us. In the retreats, workshops, and individual sessions that I lead for men, we work to understand what this conditioning has stolen from us and how to rediscover healthy masculinity and the healing it can bring to ourselves, our families, and everyone around us

Spirituality

Spirituality, psychedelics, and ceremonial work have been foundational in my own healing and awakening process. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of having a guide or support as we explore our relationship with ourselves, spirituality, and our core beliefs. I love supporting clients who are eager to explore or deepen their connection with the mystery—whether through prayer, psychedelics, breathwork, or religious community.
