Hi, I’m Tyler.
If you look “together” on the outside but feel anxious, empty, or disconnected inside — you’re not alone. Many of my clients grew up in families where love came with conditions, or where they had to perform, achieve, or please to feel safe. As an adult, that can show up as perfectionism, self-doubt, and a nagging sense that you’re never enough.

I specialize in working with:
• Adult children of narcissistic or emotionally unavailable parents
• Teens and young adults under pressure to succeed
• People exploring identity, self-worth, and attachment patterns

My approach blends AEDP with contemporary psychodynamic therapy. That means we slow down together, feel emotions in the body, and work gently with defenses — so you don’t just “talk about” problems, you actually experience healing in real time. My clients often say therapy with me feels both deeply supportive and transformative.

If you’re ready for therapy that goes beyond coping skills — therapy that helps you reconnect with your real self — I’d love to meet you.
