Matthew is a licensed psychologist with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Institute for the Psychological Sciences (now Divine Mercy University). He takes the art and science of psychotherapy very seriously, and works continuously to improve in this most complex but fulfilling craft. Matthew tends to work within the framework of depth psychology, paying careful attention to what goes on underneath the surface of each client, and developing a nuanced understanding of what makes each client tick. He loves to get to the heart of the matter, and see the uniqueness of each person he treats. When both Matthew and the client are clear about the nature of the emotional problem, he views it as a privilege to help the client experience deep feelings, gain insight into the causes of his or her unnecessary suffering, and learn to live with freedom and passion. Matthew understands how dark and painful a life affected by mental illness can be, but also believes that emotional healing is possible. Because of this deep belief in the possibility of personal transformation, Matthew invites his clients to dare to hope, and dare to face reality head on. Matthew looks forward to meeting you, and working together to help you overcome old patterns and experience a new kind of freedom and peace.
