How Can I Help?
I provide a safe and supportive space to explore and strengthen your relationship with yourself. I believe that all of our relationships, whether with a partner, family, friends, work, sex, substances, technology, or food, are reflections of how we relate to ourselves. Together, we will uncover the patterns that shape your experiences and build tools for self-awareness, growth, and healthier connections.
What is My Approach?
To truly help someone, I first seek to understand their story, including their family and cultural background and how those experiences influence who they are today. I help clients recognize how early relationships and experiences impact their current patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Through this process, we work to reauthor negative or limiting narratives that keep you stuck and replace them with new, more adaptive ways of relating to yourself and others.
What Is My Background?
I am a proud father and bring a diverse professional background that includes journalism, photography, and surf coaching. These experiences have shaped my appreciation for creativity, communication, and resilience, qualities that also inform my work as a therapist.
