About

Take the risk.

Vita Magna is Latin for "Great Life." And you are meant to have one. Regardless of what you're up against––be it sexual addiction, trauma, relationships issues––let's discover what it means for you to overcome your challenges and live your best life. In our work together, we'd explore your family of origin to develop greater insight about how you came to operate in the world and what you grew to believe about yourself and others. We may use the powerful science of EMDR to navigate any "stuck" places (e.g., traumatic memories from childhood). Then, we'd work to empower you to get out there and unleash the greatness within you. I work with Catholic/Christian young adult men who are tired of repeating reactive patterns and are ready take ownership for why life isn't turning out how they hoped. That means processing family of origin "stuff" and re-engaging differently with those primary attachment relationships. I have training in family systems, EMDR, and spiritual direction. Know this––therapy is tough stuff. Don't call me unless you're ready to put in the hard work to get legit results. I'm ready when you are. Never doubt that you are worth that investment in yourself. Your greatness awaits!
