Hi there, I'm Matthew!

I am an empathic, non-judgmental, and genuinely curious therapist who draws from creative, supportive, and deeply introspective modalities to help you address blocks, wounds, and life challenges wisely and compassionately. My goal is to help you become more aware of your inner wisdom and inherent abilities to heal.

My focus

I see individuals and specialize in treating anxiety, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, codependency, cultural stress, dissociative disorders, grief, impulsivity, infidelity, addictions, LGBTQIA+ issues, mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma, and relationship problems.

My approach

I draw from Gestalt, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, solution-focused, Buddhist, Pagan, tarot, and personality systems like the Enneagram, Human Design, and Archetypal Psychology. What I use depends on what you'd like to work on and what works best for you. Together, we explore your mind-body, emotions, habits, boundaries, and relationships.
