The therapeutic relationship is of primary importance to me in how I approach therapy. It is difficult for work to be done without some degree of trust. I aim to create a brave space that leaves room for vulnerability and self-exploration at your own pace. 

My approach is collaborative, client-centered and strengths-based, and I use a combination of approaches from the different modalities I have been trained in, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. In my work with children and families I use a trauma-informed model called Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC). 

As a queer man myself, I have a particular interest in working with other boys and men as we navigate this interesting time for masculinity. For a long period of our history there have been very clear roles for men in our society, such as protector and provider. As society changes these roles have become more nebulous, and many men have felt adrift and isolated from a sense of value and purpose. I have felt this myself, and am interested in working with other men and boys to explore a new relationship with masculinity and seek connection and purpose.

If you are interested in a therapist who enjoys using humor and metaphor, mindfulness and play, and uses some of the most current evidenced-based practices, I may be a good fit for you!
