to get closer to themselves.
Hi, I’m Ben

It’s really exciting that you’re here. That means you’re looking for something to change about your world. I think that one of our main purposes in life is to get to know ourselves and find out who we want to be along the way. To get there, we need to heal from old wounds, break negative cycles, and offer ourselves grace to be humans. But we can’t change what we don’t know. Most of the work is bringing awareness to these things. Then we have a choice, what do we want to do once we are aware?
In therapy, I’ll walk with you in understanding your patterns and how to move forward with purpose. Together, we’ll clarify your values, helping you build a meaningful and fulfilling life to fit your needs. I’m committed to providing a non-judgmental space where you can show up as your true, authentic self.
My Specialties
-
Are you finding it hard to move away from old habits and patterns? Do you feel stuck in a negative cycle? Trauma tends to have this affect, keeping us locked in the past as we try to power through it.
Reprocessing is one of the main ways I work with trauma. Unprocessed memories get stored in the body and often talking about them isn't enough, we have to feel through it. I am trained to help you safely reprocess memories that keep you from being who you want to be.
-
Everything is a relationship. Whether it's you and your partner, your family, friends, me, or yourself; we are always doing relational work.
Romantic relationships are usually the most important to clients. I use an attachment lens to help you navigate your attachment style and improve your ability to both communicate and connect with others. -
I often describe depression as a lack of wanting anything at all. Motivation is missing, self worth is low, and we feel disconnecting from everything including ourselves.
Depression can be an all encompassing numbing of life. Let’s spend time getting to know that experience, where it comes from, what it’s trying to tell us, and how we can help find some cracks in it’s story. -
Anxiety is more than stress from work, it’s a pervasive way we see the world as a dangerous place. Finding safety in ourselves can be difficult in the world we live in and the trauma you might have experienced. Anxiety keeps us at a distance from ourselves. Let’s work on deconstructing some narratives that keep us stuck, move through trauma we’ve experienced, and work on reexperiencing our bodies without anxiety.

As a male therapist and a male client, I really enjoy getting men into therapy. Often we struggle to feel emotions or even know how to identify them. We were raised to disconnect from ourselves to show ‘strength’. Growing up a man changes how you show up in the world and I'm here to explore how we want to show up today.

Therapy with you in mind
What are you working on in life? Is it relationships, stress management, feeling lost? My goal is to get you to notice more of your life, more of yourself. To be more present in your life starts in the therapy room.
The therapeutic relationship has been shown to be the strongest indicator for change. That means that our relationship is the most important factor for your healing. If something ever feels off with us, we’re going to address it. Working on our relationship is an experiential practice that transcends into the relationships in your life. I’m here to do the work with you, not watch you do it alone.
What works for your needs?
Offering both
in-person, virtual, and walk and
talk therapy.
Book a free consultation
Let’s take 20 minutes to get to know one another and see if we’re a good fit. Not only am I interviewing you to see if I would be a good therapist for you, you’re interviewing me to see if I’m right for your needs.
Practice together
We’ll meet weekly or bi-weekly to build our foundation, outline goals, and continue feeling out if this is right for you. Every session is an opportunity to find out what works and doesn’t work for you.
Grow together
Continue therapy on the cadence you need. It may ebb and flow in frequency depending on your priorities. Consistency is important, and so is recognizing when change is beneficial.
