You've spent enough time managing this. Let's actually change it.
I work with a limited number of clients — intentionally. My practice is focused on high-functioning men who are self-driven, used to solving their own problems, and have reached a point where that approach isn't working anymore.
If you're dealing with any of the following, you're in the right place.
Patterns You Can't Stop Despite the Consequences
You're not someone who lacks self-awareness or willpower. You understand the problem. You may even understand exactly where it came from. And it keeps happening anyway.
Whether it's compulsive sexual behaviors, other patterns you haven't been able to say out loud yet, or habits that keep costing you in your relationships and your sense of yourself — the common thread is this: understanding it hasn't been enough to stop it.
That's not a character flaw. That's what happens when a pattern is stored in the nervous system rather than the thinking mind. Willpower and insight work on the thinking mind. They can't reach what's driving the behavior beneath it.
This is one of my primary areas of focus. If this is what brought you here I'd encourage you to read more on the dedicated page. You can learn more about how I work with compulsive sexual behaviors by following the link.
A Relationship That Keeps Straining Under Weight You Can't Explain
You care about the people in your life. Your intentions are good. But something keeps getting in the way — distance that builds without an obvious cause, reactivity that surprises even you, ruptures that don't fully repair no matter how many conversations you have about them.
You may have tried couples therapy or read everything you can find about communication and attachment. You understand the patterns intellectually. But the same dynamics keep showing up.
Relationship strain at this level is rarely just a communication problem. It's usually rooted in nervous system responses that get activated faster than conscious thought — responses shaped by experiences that have nothing to do with your current relationship. When we work at that level the dynamics that felt fixed start to shift.
Pressure and Burnout That Won't Lift No Matter What You Do
You've done the obvious things. The vacation. The exercise routine. The sleep hygiene. The boundaries you set at work that quietly dissolved within a week.
The baseline stress level doesn't move. You're still functioning — meeting expectations, delivering results, showing up. But the margin is shrinking. Recovery takes longer than it used to. The things that used to restore you aren't working as well anymore.
This isn't a productivity problem or a time management problem. It's a nervous system that has been running in overdrive for long enough that it no longer knows how to fully downregulate. That's not fixed by taking more breaks. It's fixed by working directly with the stress response itself — which is exactly what somatic approaches do.
Something From the Past That's Still Running the Present
You may not call it trauma. That word carries associations that don't feel like they fit — it sounds like something that happened to other people, people who had it worse.
But trauma isn't defined by the severity of what happened. It's defined by what your nervous system did with it. Experiences that were overwhelming, humiliating, frightening, or simply never processed — they get stored as automatic responses that continue running in the background long after the original event is over.
You might notice them as reactions that feel disproportionate to the situation. Patterns in relationships that repeat despite your best intentions. A persistent sense of not being enough no matter what you achieve.
This work doesn't require you to relive or extensively retell what happened. Brainspotting and Somatic Experiencing work with where these experiences live in the body — which is often faster, more precise, and less retraumatizing than traditional trauma-focused talk therapy.
Fees and Logistics
Session fee: $165 per 50-minute session
Format: Available in-person at my New Hope, MN office — serving clients throughout Minneapolis, Plymouth, and the greater Twin Cities — or via telehealth throughout Minnesota
Insurance: I am currently in-network with UCare, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, Surest, and Medica. For all other clients I am private pay. I welcome a conversation about whether working together makes sense regardless of insurance status.
Superbills: Available for out-of-network clients who wish to seek reimbursement through their insurance provider directly
Scheduling: Reach out through the contact page to begin. I respond within one business day. New clients start with a free 20-minute consultation call to determine fit before scheduling a first session.
Here's exactly what happens when you reach out
Step 1: Send a brief message
No long forms, no intake questionnaires before we've even spoken. Just tell me a little about what's going on and what you're hoping for. I'll respond within one business day.
Step 2: We talk for 20 minutes — no charge
A straightforward conversation to see if we're a good fit. You get a real sense of how I work and whether this feels right. I get a clear picture of what you're dealing with. If I'm not the right person for what you need, I'll tell you honestly and point you somewhere better.
Step 3: We get to work
If we're a good fit we schedule your first session. We'll build a clear picture of where you are, where you want to be, and the most direct path between them. No meandering. No open-ended process without direction.
Most men tell me the hardest part was sending that first message.
The right time to deal with this is now — not when things slow down
You already know things don't slow down. The window you're waiting for doesn't come. What changes is whether you decide to make this a priority while you still have the capacity to do the work well.
Reach out today. The conversation is free, it's 20 minutes, and there's no obligation. The worst outcome is you spend a little time getting clarity on whether this is the right direction.
The best outcome is you finally stop waiting.
