My Approach

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

My approach is grounded in existential-humanistic and Gestalt principles. In practice, that means we work with what's happening now — not just what you're reporting from your week, but what's actually alive in the room between us.

The past matters. But I'm mostly interested in how the past is showing up in the present: in the ways you move through relationships, manage discomfort, avoid certain feelings, or stay stuck in something you've been meaning to change for years. Gestalt therapy is particularly honest about this. The work involves getting a clearer picture of what you're doing and how you're doing it — and realizing, often with some surprise, that there are other options.

Most of the patterns people bring to therapy made a lot of sense at some point. They were ways of managing fear, staying safe, staying connected. In therapy, we can look at those patterns together, without judgment, and figure out whether they're still serving you.

What I work with:

  • Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress

  • Grief and loss — including the kind the world doesn't always make room for

  • Trauma

  • Identity, meaning, and existential questions

  • Relationship difficulties, including non-traditional configurations

  • Sexual and creative blockages

  • The specific weight of high-pressure or corporate environments

  • Spiritual emergence and integration

  • Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)

I bring a transpersonal dimension to sessions when it fits — meaning I take seriously the spiritual and archetypal layers of experience, not as metaphor but as real territory. Decades of practice in Western spiritual traditions have given me a particular lens here that I think adds something different to the work.

I see individuals, couples, polycules, families, business partners, and groups. I work with kink and poly communities and LGBTQ+ individuals because these are my communities — not a niche I've developed, not a box I check.

Sessions are shaped around you. Some people want structure; others need room to wander and see what surfaces. I follow what the work asks for, and I'll tell you honestly what I'm noticing along the way.

If you want to talk about whether this might be a fit, I'm happy to have a conversation before you commit to anything.
