What Might Be Happening Beneath the Surface
Holistic Psychotherapy
Daily life in modern society keeps us overwhelmingly busy. In the midst of life's chaos, you might be doing everything in your power to hold it all together. You might be managing anxiety, battling shame, or trying to keep relationships steady despite all the inner turbulence. You may even notice specific patterns emerge; the same self-defeating thoughts and behaviors, repeated conflict with friends and family, a sense of distance from your loved ones, or even from yourself. These patterns might seem senseless or irrational, but they often stem from belief systems shaped by family dynamics and early experiences that no longer serve you.
We'll work together to help you slow things down and process these patterns and belief systems in real time as they show up in your emotions, your body, or your relationships. You’ll learn to recognize everyday triggers that lead to disconnection or familiar coping behaviors. We’ll focus on staying attuned to what’s happening within you, allowing you to acknowledge and understand your responses with more clarity and compassion. Are you ready to work towards establishing healthier ways of engaging with yourself and with those around you?
When your inner world is seen more clearly, life begins to shift

Hello, I’m Matt
I’m a Bay Area–based psychotherapist working with individuals across California. People often come to me when they feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but can’t seem to shift, or when their nervous system feels like it’s always bracing for the next hit. Working with me isn’t about fixing you or polishing rough edges. It’s about helping you getting honest with what’s actually happening beneath the surface and understanding why your system learned to respond the way it does.
How I work
My work is relational, grounded, and engaged. I draw from attachment theory and nervous system awareness, but more than anything, I pay close attention to what unfolds between us in the room. Patterns don’t just live in your past. They show up here and now, in how you relate, protect yourself, and reach for connection.
Relationships & Attachment
Explore early patterns and build secure, nourishing connections.
Nervous System Awareness
Understand your nervous system and develop greater safety, resilience, and regulation.
Mind-Body Connection
Strengthen awareness of how your body, emotions, and thoughts are interconnected.
Depth & Self-Discovery
Go beneath the surface to uncover meaning, heal, and create lasting change.
You’ve found the right place
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something that’s harder to put into words, I offer a steady, thoughtful presence. I’m not here to rush you toward answers or keep things surface-level. I’m here to help you understand your patterns, build self-trust, and create changes that actually hold up in your real life.
