You don't have to struggle alone
If you're exhausted from managing anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, navigating trauma or addiction, or feeling disconnected from yourself—there's a different way forward.
I work with people who are ready to understand why their patterns keep repeating, not just manage symptoms. The work is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in nervous system science. It's equal parts validation and challenge.
...and it actually creates lasting change.
How I work
Most people arrive feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. The exhaustion, the anxiety, the relationship struggles—these aren't random. They're patterns asking to be understood.
I help you understand what's underneath the pattern. Not through intellectualizing, but through working with your mind and conditioning, your body and nervous system, your patterns and history, and your relationships and connections. We address how your thinking has been shaped, how your body holds what your mind can't process, how early experiences shape current reactions, and how to show up differently in relationship.
Your Mind & Conditioning
Learning how your mind has been conditioned into its current way of thinking and perceiving through language, culture, and experience.
Your Body & Nervous System
Learning to recognize activation, regulate emotions, and find safety in your own experience. Somatic awareness and EMDR when appropriate.
Your Patterns & History
Understanding where your protection strategies came from and why they're not serving you anymore. Moving from self-blame to self-compassion.
Your Relationships & Connections
Healing relational wounds through relational repair. The therapeutic relationship becomes a safe place to practice something different.
The approach integrates ACT, DBT, CBT, IFS, EMDR and many others—adapted session-to-session based on what you actually need. This isn't about applying rigid protocols. It's about meeting you where you are.

About me
I'm a trauma-informed therapist working at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative practice. My approach is relational, grounded, and centered on helping you understand yourself from the inside out.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent several years in the military, another 22 years in the business world as a cybersecurity professional and consultant, and over a decade as a contemplative wisdom teacher.
I meet people where they are with an attuned, unhurried presence. You won't be judged. You'll be heard—actually heard. The work is equal parts validation and challenge, because that's what creates real change.

What clients are saying
"I finally feel like someone actually gets it. Bradley doesn't just listen—he hears what I'm not saying. For the first time, I don't feel broken or wrong for struggling. The work is hard, but I'm not doing it alone anymore."
— Therapy client
"I came in thinking I just needed coping skills for anxiety. What I got was an understanding of why the anxiety was there in the first place. Bradley helped me see the patterns I'd been living in without even knowing it. I'm not 'fixed,' but I'm not stuck anymore."
— Therapy client
"The combination of psychological insight and deeper awareness is exactly what I needed. Bradley doesn't shy away from the hard stuff, but he also doesn't pathologize everything. I feel like I'm learning to be with myself differently—and that's changed everything."
