I feel strongly that the therapy process is a “we” process so I work collaboratively. My extensive and ongoing training and supervision in Emotionally-Focused Therapy is a central focus of my work which is based on the science of attachment and bonding.

My approach has curiosity baked into every moment.

We live in an emotionally-illiterate culture, and it's not your fault! Your feelings, or your confusion about feelings and what to do with them, are welcome in my company. As a certified trainer from the Center for Nonviolent Communication, I’m trained to guide communication that strives for a world that works for all.

I’m an aspiring ally to any and all marginalized identities you live with. I’m a white, cis-gendered, able-bodied, male, and U.S. citizen with countless privileged experiences of opportunity. I was raised in a middle-class home with two working entrepreneurs. I attended public education and then was financially supported through three degrees.

My sister told me that I have the gift of compassionate confrontation. I don’t overlook microaggressions. I am a part of an anti-racist pro-justice community of weekly practice called White Men For Racial Justice. In my adult life, I’ve learned to better care for my beautiful ADHD brain. I have experience in helping those whose lives are affected by this. I celebrate neurodiversity in the world and love to locate the superpowers in those unique differences.

I’m a Dad to a 15-year-old and a 4-year-old with whom I’m madly in love. My amazing partner and I strive to parent collaboratively and with relentless empathy.
