ABOUT MATT

My own journey through depression informs my work with clients. A good sense of humor, a 20-year meditation practice, and a grounded authenticity also help me navigate the healing process. I am a licensed MFT in practice since 2009. I am also a certified Hakomi Therapist since 2014.

I work with individuals and couples. I see my role as guide and ally in uncovering old beliefs, seeing cycles of conflict, and rediscovering closeness. I believe change happens from new experience; insight and talking is not enough. My goal is to walk with you, through insight and discovery, to a new experience of yourself as whole, grounded, and connected.

My work combines mindfulness, relational psychotherapy, attachment work, and transpersonal and somatic psychology. Emotionally Focused Therapy informs my work with couples. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma, substance abuse, mood disorders, and relational issues. I also do rites of passage work with men and am an avid climber and skier.

I look forward to connecting with you an invite you to get in touch.
