About Me

Hi there, I’m Matt (he/him)

I’m passionate about helping folks dealing with loneliness, anxiety, depression, and other relational issues so that they can have the type of relationships and life they want!

It’s never easy to find a therapist…

If you were like me and grew up in a family that discouraged therapy and mental health in general, then it can be especially daunting, intimidating, or downright scary to even look for a therapist. 

Which is one of the reasons why I try to make therapy as comfortable and relaxed as possible.

Of course it can be hard to talk about your problems and emotions with a stranger. That being said, I’m very laid back, chill by nature, and love to laugh and joke around.

So I certainly welcome humor in sessions.

I try to show up as my authentic self and personality and certainly welcome you to do the same! 

I enjoy working with a wide variety of folks who come from all types of cultural backgrounds,, sexual orientations, races, and ethnicities, and religions (including the wide array of denominations within Christianity).

I also have experience with people who have ADHD and deal with Chronic Pain. 

I know that it can be difficult for a person of color to see a white, male, therapist. I don’t pretend to be colorblind or ignorant of my privilege. And I welcome discussions about differences, privilege, and identity. I want to understand (as best I can) what your experience is like living in your body. Therefore I will always continue to learn and grow especially in areas concerning gender, race, ethnicity, and sexual identity. 

Unfortunately, all humans are susceptible to experiencing profound loneliness, overwhelming stress, anxieties, and depression.

I believe that in working together, we can come up with some helpful tools and resources to help you right away

We will also look at the root causes and patterns of the past that continue show up and cause discomfort in the present.

So that you can have the type of relationships that you want with yourself,  family, friends…and ultimately…a better future
