Investing in your care
It’s a price difficult to quantify when you consider the value of wellness, healing, and personal insight. Regardless of what outcomes you see after a single session, knowing that you are choosing to invest in yourself is a profound gesture of self-love. Whether you are paying out of pocket or through your insurance benefits, you can be rest assured that the cost of this investment is going towards supporting my ongoing work as a clinician and to my direct needs as a fellow human being. I do not take your time or finances for granted, and I am honored to be a part of this journey with you.

Insurance
At this time, I am not in network with private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. However, I am in the process of becoming an in-network provider and will update my site accordingly.
It is always best practice to check in with your insurance plan and contact them to see if my services are covered by your plan.
Values & Approach
Psychodynamic
As a Relational Psychodynamic therapist, I bring a depth of training that honors the beautiful complexities of the human spirit, as well as the belief that what arises in the therapy session is always worth being curious enough to sit with. More often than not, we’ll stumble upon unconscious patterns, long held beliefs, past attachment wounds, and an internal wisdom that will likely have great ripple effects.
Trust
I believe that therapy is a radical process that hinges entirely on the trust we establish together, and the commitment we hold to the possibility for change in our lives. When else do we get to slow down for an hour and have the opportunity to practice being vulnerable without judgment? I trust that what brought you here matters, I trust that change is possible, and I trust that we will make great strides in this work together.
Ecological
I believe that any conversation about wellness deserves an intentional look at one’s relationship with their environment, community, workplace, personal interests, and physical body. When our needs and desires are met, we are likely to be sustained even during the harshest seasons. I am ever curious about somatic approaches to healing, and aspire to bring a holistic perspective to your treatment.
Open & affirming
The particularity of our stories matter. I welcome your lived experience, your personal beliefs, and your identities without judgment. As a White, able-bodied, and male practitioner, I recognize my areas of privilege and inherent differences in lived experiences. I strive to practice with an open mindset that is culturally sensitive and anti-oppressive. What arises in you will always be worthy of love, presence, and curiosity during our work.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing is an evidence-based method of treatment. I enjoy utilizing the structure and container of EMDR through a uniquely tailored approach to your specific struggles. EMDR works well for letting go of long-held beliefs, stuck patterns, and especially for lingering traumatic or stressful memories. EMDR is quite different from regular talk therapy and can possibly bring about distressing emotions during the session. EMDR benefits from your willingness to be patient and guided in the process, as well as open to wherever the process leads us.
Liberation
Do you feel free to live out your values, your wants, your deepest heartfelt desires? Do you struggle to reconcile your identity, your status, or lack of opportunities with the life you actually dream of living? Many of us feel the constraints of living in the modern era along with the existential and practical toll this can have on our day to day lives. I strive to be a provider who uses my position to empower others, advocate when systems do not serve us, and continuously learn/unlearn for the betterment of our collective liberation and growth as a community.
Existential
I employ a comfortability in sitting with themes that are often difficult to name, explain, touch, or even look at. Sometimes therapy can be most effective or healing by merely providing enough space to speak something aloud for the first time, and to then digest, process, and determine what meaning it has for us moving forward. Human beings are incredibly resilient in the face of suffering, so long as they have a grasp on their innermost values and meaning they hold in life. Let’s take some time to be playfully curious about what it is you find meaningful.
