Relational Conflicts

Meaningful and fulfilling relationships have a huge impact on our day-to-day lives. They not only bring us things like security and belonging, but they are also instrumental to our own personal growth and self-understanding.

And of course, they sometimes take a lot of hard work to maintain!

Divorce

Marriage contains an inherent contradiction: Both parties commit fully to one another while also acknowledging that change is inevitable.

In some cases, that contradiction is irreconcilable.

It isn’t ever fun or easy, but a marriage’s completion can be accomplished with integrity and grace.

Addiction

Addiction impairs our judgement, stifles the our values, and isolates us from true nurturance.

Early recovery may bring some relief, but it often involves resurfacing old conflicts and managing new challenges too.

Trauma

Psychological trauma occurs when we obtain new knowledge that fractures our world.

Treatment allows us to integrate that new knowledge into a world that is worthy and capable of being lived in.

Men's Issues

Although what it means to “be a man” may vary depending on cultural factors, there are generally processes and expectations that influence the way we self-identify, feel, and express ourselves.

Men’s therapy can take an informed approach to topics like sexuality, body image, anger, fatherhood.

Professionals

Being accountable for the lives (and livelihoods) of the public is a lot for a person to bear.

Sometimes taking off the uniform and living a so-called “normal life” between shifts is one of the hardest parts.

Specialized professionals treatment can help you address things like overcontrol, perfectionism, and burnout.

Tailored, Integrative Care

Integrative care blends empirically supported treatments to match problem, treatment phase, and client preference. Interventions are selected pragmatically so therapy stays efficient, relevant, and personalized.

Interpersonal Process uses the therapeutic relationship to notice patterns, repair ruptures, and practice new ways of connecting. These insights and experiences in the “here and now” are generalized outward to work, family, and other areas.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores underlying meanings and recurring relational themes to deepen self‑understanding and shift long‑standing patterns.

Motivational Interviewing resolves ambivalence and strengthens commitment to change using reflective listening and value‑based conversations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and produce measurable, real‑world results.

Cognitive Processing Therapy investigates unhelpful beliefs about safety and trust obtained through traumatic experiences. Clients learn how manage trauma symptoms, refute “stuck points,” and integrate their experiences.

    How It Works

    Each therapeutic process has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

    In the beginning, we will try to understand how your present experience, your personal history, and your environment all work together. We will also make an initial set of goals to work toward.

    The middle part is where the work happens. What exactly this entails will depend on the goals we set in the first stage. We generally look for two things: new insight to understand things better, and new experience to welcome the desired change.

    In the end, we reflect on what has changed and what comes next. Ideally, you are able to handle the conflicts that led you to seek therapy without my support.

  • Delivery Formats

    My office in Near Southside provides a comfortable, private setting for experiential work. Secure telehealth uses HIPAA compliant Google Meet for structured therapy, follow ups, and clients who need remote access. Hybrid care combines both so we can start with in person stabilization and shift to virtual sessions for maintenance. Documentation and goals remain unified across formats.

    I offer individual, family, and couples sessions to participants age 16 and older. Social support is a key factor in achieving and maintaining therapeutic goals, so I am also happy to offer free and paid services to coordinate with the support networks and care teams of clients participating primarily on an individual basis.

    Scheduling Options & Session Types

    Individual therapy is available weekly, biweekly, or monthly to match the phase of treatment and life demands. I typically suggest beginning with weekly sessions, which is best for intensive work or trauma processing. As treatment progresses and clinical needs decrease, biweekly sessions help maintain scaffolded support. Once all major treatment goals are attained, monthly sessions may be used for maintenance and relapse prevention.

    Twenty minute check-in calls offer focused problem solving between sessions. Customized intensives are scheduled by agreement.

    All 50 minute sessions are $180 regardless of format or participants. Twenty minute check in calls are $60. Intensives are based on $180 hourly rate with final pricing set by scope.

    I do not bill insurance directly but will provide a complimentary superbill on request. Debit, credit, HSA, FSA, and cash accepted.
