Helping you process the impact of the past to build a brighter future.

Hi, I’m Dylan. 

I believe feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means your past is still asking to be understood.

You’ve spent years navigating life the best way you know how—managing relationships, pushing through self-doubt, and carrying the weight of a past that still lingers in ways you can’t always name. Maybe you keep people at a distance without meaning to, or you find yourself stuck in the same exhausting patterns, unsure of why. You’re doing everything you can to move forward, but something inside still feels unsettled.

I believe healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself. Healing is about understanding yourself. Your past shaped you, but it doesn’t have to dictate your future. Therapy is a space to untangle the patterns keeping you stuck, build self-trust, and finally feel more at home in your own life.

In our work together, I’ll help you:

  • Find balance in your emotions

  • Trust yourself more

  • Set boundaries without guilt

  • Navigate relationships with clarity

  • Parent with confidence

  • Quiet your inner critic

  • Find a sense of steadiness

My Approach

I’m honest, real, and here to help you make sense of it all.

I believe in showing up fully and authentically in this work. I’ll always be real with you—honest when things are hard, bold when necessary, and deeply validating of what you’ve been through. I know that healing from complex PTSD isn’t just about processing the past. It’s about learning how to feel safe within yourself in the present.

I also know that therapy isn’t always a linear or comfortable process. Unpacking long-standing patterns and survival strategies takes courage, and sometimes, it brings up emotions you weren’t expecting. That’s why I create a space where everything is welcome. Your fear, your frustration, your humor, your hope. There’s no right way to heal, and we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable for you.

As a therapist, I would never ask you to do work that I wouldn’t do myself. I’ve seen firsthand how challenging, but ultimately freeing, it is to confront what’s been weighing you down. Healing doesn’t mean erasing your past; it means learning how to relate to yourself differently so it no longer controls you. And that’s exactly what we’ll do together.

My Values

Compassion

Your experiences matter, and I meet you where you are. You deserve support that is warm, validating, and free of judgment.

Authenticity

Therapy is a space where you can be fully yourself. You don’t have to perform, prove anything, or have it all figured out.

Awareness

Healing starts with understanding yourself. I help you recognize patterns, emotions, and beliefs so you can create meaningful change.

Collaberation

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. We’ll work together to find what helps you feel safe, grounded, and in control.

How I Can Help

  • Healing from Childhood Trauma

    The way you learned to survive as a child is still shaping your life today—your relationships, your self-trust, your sense of safety. Therapy helps you process what still lingers, so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and a sense of wholeness.

  • Relationships and Complex PTSD

    When your earliest relationships taught you to be hyper-aware of others' emotions, to shrink yourself, or to expect love to come with conditions, it makes sense that relationships still feel complicated. I’ll help you break survival-based patterns, build trust, and create relationships that feel safe, mutual, and fulfilling.

  • Parenting with Complex PTSD

    Raising a child while carrying your own childhood wounds is overwhelming—you’re trying to do things differently, but old patterns, deep fears, and emotional triggers keep surfacing. I’ll give you the space to process what’s coming up, help navigate parenting with more confidence, and break the cycle without breaking yourself.

  • Perfectionism

    Perfectionism makes it feel like no matter how much you achieve, it’s never quite enough. You push yourself hard, fear failure, and struggle to rest without guilt. The pressure to perform can be exhausting. In therapy, we’ll explore where these patterns come from and help you build self-trust, confidence, and a sense of balance so you can finally feel at ease in your own life.
