There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
~Robert Hunter (songwriter for the grateful dead)
what is therapy? what can I expect?
Great questions! The answer depends upon us, who we are together. Let’s begin with getting to know each other a bit. Custom-design, collaboration, sculpting. Let’s roll up our sleeves, get in there, and take the time to see what works!

psy . cho . ther.a.py
/,sīkō’THerępē
Derived from Ancient Greek psyche ψυχή, meaning “breath; spirit; soul”,
and therapeia θεραπεία, “healing; curative advancements, to draw nearer to wholeness”
who I work with
All ages are welcome and diversity is appreciated! Adolescents/teens/young adults from 15ish to 30ish are especially encouraged to see whether we might be a fit, as this tends to be the main demographic drawn to me (in particular guys who seek a male therapist, and all are warmly received!)
I work uniquely well with folks who are emotionally-driven/inclined, sensitive, and with ADHD and otherwise-neurodivergent-types (creative, artistic, problematic at times, allergic to boredom), collaborating on issues like depression, anxiety/worry, self-esteem/self-image, relationship stuff, family stuff, trauma/blockages/stuckness. Additionally, I often align readily with those on a mindful path, those propelled to continue to grow, evolve.
The 1:1 dynamic is my focus, although I occasionally work with families or derivations of family members. Bonding with younger kids is a joy, and tends to incorporate play, silliness, and the building of trust– the language of small people.
