About Max
Max (he/they) helps clients understand the reasons behind their emotions—namely the deep roots of guilt and shame. He works with clients to safely explore every part of themselves. His compassionate, analytical approach helps them recognize that their strong emotions are normal, everyday things—and by accepting that, it’s possible to feel them a little less sharply.
Max has experience helping clients navigate OCD, anxiety, grief, trauma, ADHD, FND and autism. They use shame-reducing approaches like internal family systems (IFS), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and Gestalt to help individuals, couples, and families build a deeper understanding of themselves and create lives that feel more authentic and fulfilling (tweed jacket sold separately). He helps clients better express themselves and their emotions, and challenges them in meaningful ways that help them grow.
Max is part of the queer community and pleasure-positive. They are deeply committed to understanding each person holistically, embracing the intersectionality of identities and experiences related to bodies, abilities, genders, ethnicities, races, and backgrounds.
Max might be the right therapist for you if…
… you tend to intellectualize—or over-intellectualize—things.
… you’re interested in exploring your neurodivergence with someone who understands your challenges and strengths that come with it.
… you want to explore and process your deeper feelings, and ultimately come to a better understanding of the “emotional roots” behind your behaviors.
… you’re working through grief and loss and don’t want to do it alone.
… you want to take, or have already taken, the leap into exploring familial relationships and generational trauma.
… you’re looking for someone who has your back in your endless existential struggle to be accepted as a practitioner of puns and dry humor.
…you’re experiencing symptoms of Functional Neurological Disorder and are looking to decrease your symptoms and get back to a “normal” life.
