I work with people who are thoughtful and self-aware, but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to go next. You might find yourself caught between who you are and who you feel you’re “supposed” to be, driven by anxiety, pressure, or expectation rather than a clear sense of what feels right.

In our work together, the goal is to help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more able to move through life with intention. We’ll focus on building a life that feels authentic and meaningful, not just manageable.

Sessions are active, collaborative, and often incorporate humor and metaphor. You can expect a mix of reflection and practical movement forward, whether that’s gaining insight, shifting patterns, or making concrete changes in your relationships or daily life. I draw from relational cultural theory, narrative therapy, and solution-focused approaches, and I adapt our work to what feels most helpful for you rather than following a rigid formula.

I often support clients navigating identity, relationships, shame, anxiety, and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed and identity-affirming, and I approach your story with care, curiosity, and respect for your lived experience.

As a cis, queer man from the evangelical South, I bring lived insight into how power, privilege, and systems shape our experiences, both in the world and in the therapy room. My training is grounded in social justice, and I’m mindful of how dynamics like patriarchy, capitalism, and expectations around masculinity can impact mental health, identity, and relationships.

Over time, clients often find they feel more confident in their choices, more grounded in who they are, and better able to tolerate uncertainty without losing connection to what matters most.

If you’re considering therapy, you don’t need to have everything figured out to reach out. I offer a free consultation to talk through what you’re looking for, answer your questions, and see if we might be a good fit.
