About This Provider:

Matt approaches therapy from the perspective that each client is their own best expert. As such, Matt utilizes the metaphor of therapy as a vehicle, with you (the client) in the driver’s seat. You have the steering wheel, and the gas and brake pedals. Together, you and Matt will work collaboratively to develop a treatment plan, which will serve as the roadmap to pave the way to the destination of your choosing. Matt will be in the passenger seat alongside you, serving as navigator to humbly assist you in your journey. As a good navigator, he will pay attention to your potential blind spots and help you notice them. In the end, your journey belongs to you, and Matt will do his best to help you reach your destination. Matt welcomes spiritual and faith-based perspectives in his practice. Whether you want to integrate your beliefs into your healing journey or are actively wrestling with questions and struggles around faith, he provides a supportive, non-judgmental space for your experience and exploration.
Matt is offering appointments 4 days per week.
