Hi I'm Ben

We all have the innate tendency to heal in the presence of a skillful and trusted other. Emotional pain can be intense and overwhelming. I provide genuine warmth and skill in doing the brave work of connecting to, expressing, and healing those hurt emotions. Along the way my clients always experience more and more of that which is life-affirming, motivating, and true to their deepest selves.

“Ben creates a very open environment for you to share freely and comfortably. I was able to unpack trauma that was affecting my current relationship and find a way forward.”
