Hi there, I'm Matthew!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, but mostly I’m someone who genuinely loves figuring people out. I work with adults and couples who feel stuck, anxious, disconnected, or tired of repeating the same problems. I’m direct, curious, compassionate, and believe dark humor can sometimes get us through what positive thinking cannot.

My focus

I like working with people who are curious, funny, a little existential, and tired of their own stuff. Maybe life looks fine from the outside but something still feels off. I work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, self-worth, life transitions, and recovery. You don’t need to have it figured out, but you do need to be willing to look.

My approach

I don’t think you need another person telling you what you should be doing. You probably already know. I want to figure out why you’re not doing it—or why you keep doing the exact thing you swore you wouldn’t do again. I use CBT, IFS, Family Systems, and whatever helps us get underneath the obvious answer.
