Hi there, I'm Matthew!

I offer remote therapy for individual adults and couples who are seeking support in the emotional, relational, and spiritual areas of their lives.

My focus

Many of the clients I work with are successful in their careers and professional lives, but struggle with keeping up with the demands and pressures of life. Oftentimes, my clients are having difficulty figuring out the next step, navigating strained relationships, or managing stress.

My approach

We will use a creative and holistic approach of collaborative dialogue and experiential exercises to develop awareness, cultivate compassion, and reestablish connection. To further engage with the therapy process outside of our sessions, I will often offer practices to experiment with to help you embody your insights.
