Hi there, I'm Matthew!

You can expect honest conversations, accountability, and a space where real change is the goal. My focus is helping you break cycles, build stability, and move forward in a way that feels stronger and more intentional.

My focus

I have worked with a variety of client from trauma, addictions, and general mental health. I take a humanic approach to your experiences and the way that you have tried to manage and work with your experiences to explore more healthy and positive approaches

My approach

My approach is direct, practical, and focused on real progress. I use your past experiences to understand what has worked, what hasn’t, and how to build a path forward. I incorporate strategies like DBT and motivational interviewing to help you manage emotions, improve decision-making, and build healthier habits that actually stick.
