Hi, I'm Matthew. I believe every person has a story worth hearing, and therapy is a place where you don't have to pretend to have everything figured out. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My role isn't to tell you who you should be, but to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and move toward the life you want.
Therapy isn't about someone telling you how to live your life. I see it as a partnership where we become curious about what's happening, identify what's getting in the way, and build practical tools that help outside of our sessions. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while integrating trauma-informed care and other evidence-based approaches to meet your unique needs. I believe real growth happens through honest conversations, small victories, and consistent support.
You don't need to prepare the "perfect" story before coming to therapy. During our first meeting, we'll spend time understanding your concerns, answering any questions you have, and creating a plan that feels realistic and personalized. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, knowing you don't have to figure everything out on your own, and feeling hopeful about the work we'll do together.
