About me

NAVIGATING LIFE, CAREER, AND IDENTITY WITH CONFIDENCE

Life often leaves us feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of our next step. Whether you are navigating the pressures of a demanding career, exploring your identity, or simply trying to find balance in a chaotic world, you do not have to carry that weight alone.

A SAFE, INCLUSIVE SPACE TO HEAL

As a licensed therapist in VA, MD, OR, IN, and PA with over a decade of experience, I am deeply committed to creating an affirming environment for individuals of all backgrounds and identities. My practice is a judgment-free zone where we move beyond "just venting" to focus on real, tangible change.

MY SPECIALTIES & AREAS OF FOCUS

Career & Life Transitions: Managing workplace burnout, stress, and professional growth.

Identity & Self-Esteem: A supportive space for exploring sexuality, gender, and personal values.

Emotional Resilience: Practical strategies for depression, anxiety, and navigating social challenges.

Trauma & Recovery: Healing from past trauma and breaking unhealthy cycles to reclaim your sense of self.

MY APPROACH AND STYLE

I work collaboratively to help you build practical strategies and insights that you can use immediately. My goal is to help you move from simply managing your days to living an authentic, empowered life. I incorporate evidence-based concepts into treatment while remaining flexible to your unique needs.

If you are ready to move from managing to thriving, I invite you to schedule a session. Let's start building your path forward.

Nathan is very responsive and follows up on our conversations with guides and materials I can look through. I appreciate that he reaches out when we have weeks between sessions to ensure things are well and to remind me that he is here to help!

Nathan is so caring and understanding. He has helped my relationship with my partner as well as my relationship with myself. He is so professional and one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. I am so thankful for him. I enjoy the meditation videos he sends and his responses to my journals. He’s an all around, wonderful therapist.

Excellent therapist who knows exactly how to treat my mind. I’ve been able to overcome so much in so little time thanks to him! Anyone would be lucky to have him as a therapist!

I appreciate how much Nathan is willing to listen and offer advice on every topic I bring up. My ADHD causes me to go on a spiral but Nathan is always bringing it back haha. He gives me hope that I’ll get through all of this and that I’m not broken or alone
