Hi there, I'm Matthew!

Some of our deepest emotional wounds come from difficult or dysfunctional relationships in early life. But just as relationships can hurt, so can they heal. Therapy is a place to heal these early wounds and develop the skills to form more satisfying relationships.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, families, and children. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, phobias, ADHD, autism/Asperger's, anger management, behavioral issues, coping skills, divorce, family conflict, marital/pre-marital issues, men's issues, mood disorders, parenting, relationship issues, and trauma/PTSD.

My approach

As a therapist, I draw from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, family systems, and developmental theories to develop an approach uniquely suited to each person and each family. I am active, engaged, accepting, and compassionate in my therapeutic approach.
