Hi there, I'm Benjamin!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I use a client-led approach to therapy, meaning that together we learn more about where your patterns came from and what might feel more helpful to you in the future. I love working with grief, trauma, and alternative lifestyles such as polyamory, and use an LGBTQIA+-affirming style.

My focus

I work a lot with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. I also thoroughly enjoy interpersonal work and exploring attachment wounds, playing out in romantic relationships and with family members. In addition, I also work with alternative lifestyles, such as people in the kink/BDSM communities.

My approach

I use an eclectic mix of Humanistic/Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, and Solution-Focused. In practice, I try to pull from a variety of sources with the main goal of helping you feel understood and seen, as well as using in-the-moment experiences.
