Hi, I’m Ben

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware individuals who feel stuck in patterns they can't seem to change. They often struggle with anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, self-criticism, or a lingering sense that something in life feels off.

My approach combines EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-focused therapy, and existential therapy to help clients understand the deeper roots of their struggles and create lasting change.

Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and move toward a life that feels more connected, authentic, and meaningful.

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 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.

Book a free consultation

Let’s take 15 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.
