About Max

I’m a therapist with over two decades of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan and place great value in meeting all individuals where they are in life. I believe in making change and view the process of therapy for all individuals as a way to accelerate and enhance the result the individual desires from intake through discharge. If someone is not in a place yet where change feels possible, I would help initially to evaluate this key component and help in planning on just how to work towards what may be necessary to develop a sense of urgency and readiness.

My expertise spans a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and anger management. I’m skilled in helping people navigate trauma, grief, attachment issues, communication challenges, and life transitions. I also work with individuals experiencing isolation, social anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive patterns, mood disorders, and substance use concerns.

I have specialized experience supporting men through midlife transitions, military veterans, individuals in non-traditional relationships, and those navigating family dynamics—including blended families, infidelity, and caregiver stress. I’m also equipped to work with neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, and those managing eating concerns, personality patterns, and abandonment wounds.

My approach is grounded in genuine connection and understanding. I believe in meeting you where you are, listening without judgment, and collaborating with you to build meaningful change. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or seeking greater self-awareness and purpose, I’m here to support your journey with compassion and skill.
