Hi!

Hey, welcome! I’m Brad. As a professional, I am trained in and use evidence based models that target emotional experiences to restructure internal and external dynamics. Everything I do professionally has to do with connectedness whether that be to your partner, yourself, your village, your spirituality, or nature. When doing couple therapy, I blend Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) to foster an environment of safety so people can move deeper into themselves and towards one another with more courage. If we work together in couple therapy, I’ll look for relationship dynamics, opportunities to nudge folks into vulnerability, we’ll track attachment styles and unmet needs, and whenever there’s an opening, I’ll try and invite bonding experiences. With individuals, I bring an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach to welcome all parts of each person as they learn to befriend, understand, embrace, and lead themselves. In simple terms, IFS gives a really simple framework for us to listen to ourselves and respond to ourselves. I think most of us can relate to the idea that we beat ourselves up for things, yet if a friend was in the same situation, we’d probably be pretty kind and understanding. IFS helps refocus that natural friend instinct you have for someone else towards yourself. I tailor my approach to best fit the unique needs and goals of each relationship and each person I work with. To supplement the EFT, IFIO, and IFS (typical ongoing treatment), I may suggest deepening our therapy work with Nature-Based experiences and/or supplementing ongoing treatment with Psychedelic Assisted Therapy.

I love all the work I do, but I have a special place in my heart for the High-Conflict Relationships. Whether you’re trying to navigate the trenches of infidelity and rebuilding everything, you’re considering whether to stay or leave, or you’re stuck in a dynamic with your partner where everything is “cranked up to eleven,” I’d love to jump in with you.

Personally, I’m an enneagram 9 wing 8 (or 8 wing 9, it’s almost 50/50), a mountain biker, a nature lover, a drummer (and guitarist sometimes), a goofball, someone with ADHD, a dad to a fireball of a daughter, a husband to my best friend and force of nature wife, and a fur baby daddy to my silly and sweet berniedoodle, Sunny Love.

Can’t wait to meet ya.
