As I became a new father and parent I often observed in awe as I witnessed the villages and communities that so naturally rose up to hold and support my spouse throughout pregnancy, birth, and even loss. Overtime I began to ask myself, “How can we create this same supportive community for new dads and grieving partners?” To the dads and partners I ask, “Can we be brave enough to allow others to hold us too?”

My mission is to grow a safe place and community through individual therapy and group settings for the spectrum of dads and partners - grieving partners and relationships after traumatic infant and pregnancy loss, PTSD symptoms after emotionally overwhelming birth stories, or even the new dad who is struggling to find himself again after welcoming a child when the world tells him there is no room for internal struggle.

I am centered on providing a secure place for individuals to process emotional wounds and develop powerful skills in order to discover and reclaim internal safety. With the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness and somatic based practices we can work together to nurture the parts of yourself that are wounded.

I am a trauma informed, queer affirming, and sex positive therapist. If you think we may be a good fit, let’s schedule a free consultation to discuss your goals and explore how life can feel moving forward. You deserve to feel well!
