My Approach

Therapy That Meets You Where You’re At

My approach is rooted in existential-humanistic and Gestalt traditions. In plain English: we work with what is happening right now. Not just a recap of your week, but what's actually alive in the room between us.

History matters. But I’m mostly interested in how the past is running the show today. How you handle discomfort, keep yourself safe, or stay locked in loops you've been meaning to break for years. Gestalt work doesn't sugarcoat this. Together, we look closely at what you’re doing and how you're doing it, until you notice—often with a jolt—that you actually have other moves available.

The patterns you're dragging around made sense once. They were survival strategies. Ways to manage fear or stay connected when things were hard. We don't need to shame those parts of you; we just need to look at them and figure out if they're still pulling their weight.

People land in my office for a lot of reasons. Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Grief and loss—especially the kind the world doesn't make room for. Trauma and its aftershocks. Identity, meaning, and existential dead ends. Relationship knots, whether you're solo, partnered, or navigating complex polycules. Creative and sexual blocks. The friction of high-pressure or corporate lives. Spiritual emergence and integration. And ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP).

When it fits, I bring a transpersonal lens to the room. I take spiritual and archetypal experiences seriously, not as metaphors, but as real territory. Decades spent within Western spiritual traditions shape how I work.

I work with individuals, couples, polycules, families, and groups. I work with the LGBTQ+, kink, and poly communities because these are my communities too, not a niche market I’ve developed or a box I'm checking.

Sessions aren't one-size-fits-all. Some weeks you'll want a clear map; other weeks you'll need room to wander. I follow what the work asks for, and I'll always be straight with you about what I'm seeing.

If you want to figure out whether we're a good fit, let's talk. I'm happy to have a conversation before you commit to anything.
