Great to meet you!

They say you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your therapist, and I promise I’m a much better listener than your Uncle Chip. I’m Matt, and I’ve spent the last ten years helping people navigate the 'plot twists' of life. With a master's degree from Catholic University and a specialty in anxiety, relationships, and life adjustments, I’ve learned that while I can't wave a magic wand to fix your problems, I’m excellent at helping you find where you dropped yours. Let's get to work... no promises there won't be more metaphors down the road though.

My approach to therapy

I'll go ahead and say that I've got training in CBT, mindfulness, EMDR, psychodynamic work, etc., but the focus of our work together is you. Our relationship together, built on trust and empathy, will be the agent of change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we'll get to know each other and together gain a deeper understanding of what brings you to therapy, and collaborate on where to go from there.
