Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm Scott and I'm glad you are here- I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have worked in mental healthcare for 13 years and am a professional musician and artist.

I love working with creatives, highly sensitive and neurodivergent people navigating identity issues, trauma, anxiety, self doubt and burn out. I am passionate about helping you reconnect with your most authentic Self and healing from the effects of relational trauma, or just the pain of feeling "different", stuck or misunderstood. I engage with my clients as a real, genuine person and deeply value the connection and healing that can happen in the therapy relationship.

My approach to therapy

I engage with my clients as a real, genuine person and deeply value the connection and healing that can happen in the therapy relationship. I use Somatic work, IFS (Parts work), Mindfulness, Strengths Based, Narrative and Feminist Therapies to support you in your growth.

What you can expect from me

I seek to create an environment where your most authentic self is celebrated and developed, where any and all parts of you can be explored with depth and held with compassion.

In our initial sessions we will explore your goals and hopes for therapy, getting to the heart of what it is you need most as well as what may be getting in the way.
