Hi there, I'm Max!
I identify as non-binary transmasculine and understand the challenge of willing yourself into existence. I blend social work with psychoanalytic thinking, focusing on internal struggles and their relationship to larger systems. My work focuses on self-acceptance and core values, then moves toward barriers to greater meaning and connection.
My focus
I work with adults of all ages and older adolescents seeking therapy for mental health concerns, especially ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, codependency, and gender dysphoria. As a trans therapist, I've worked with many patients exploring gender identity. I like working with people through periods of self-discovery and change.
My approach
When I grasped the paradox of self-acceptance—that accepting yourself enables change—it was a lightbulb moment. Once you stop fighting yourself, you can begin living as your whole self. My approach is individualized and integrates elements from different therapy models. I welcome incorporating art, music, writing, or media into session.
