“Fred has wonderful energy ! I felt like he really listen to what I had to say and understood me from just one session. He was able to see the meanings behind my actions and mannerisms, making it easier to communicate. I didn’t need to over explain or rephrase a million times because he understood the working parts that shape me and my actions. Very considerate, kind, thoughtful , and helpful. Offers multimodal trauma therapy which none of my former psychiatrists/therapists were able to provide. I’m excited to continue. ”

“I’ve been working with Fred for almost 2 years. In that time, he’s helped me build healthier, more intimate relationships by working with me on my communication style. He has also supported me through difficult moments and conflicts. Because of our work together, I feel like I’ve become a more secure and healthy version of myself. He also sends detailed follow-up emails after visits with helpful resources, which shows how diligent and hardworking he is. I highly recommend him.”

Hi, I'm Fred (he/him)! Life can be complicated, and therapy is a space to make sense of it — whether you’re navigating everyday stress, relationship challenges, or deeper emotional wounds. My approach is relational and insight-oriented, helping you explore how your past experiences and inner dynamics shape the way you show up today.
I draw from psychodynamic therapy and integrate aspects of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic IFS, which bring awareness to the different “parts” of ourselves and how they live in the body. This mind–body connection supports clarity, self-compassion, and healing.
For couples work, I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), a model that helps partners identify the negative cycles they get stuck in and build more secure, connected ways of relating. The goal isn’t to assign blame but to understand the emotional needs underneath conflict and restore a sense of safety and closeness.
I work with both individuals and couples — including those in consensually non-monogamous (CNM) and more traditional monogamous relationships — to help navigate the unique complexities that come with love, communication, and connection. As a gay man, my own process of embracing my identity gives me a deep appreciation for the nuances of sexuality, gender, and belonging, while recognizing that everyone’s story is distinct.
Together, we’ll create a collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s holding you back, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward a more grounded, authentic version of yourself.

I really appreciate Fred's ability to see me and affirm what I am going through. He always listens and meets me where I am at. If I don't have anything on my mind Fred is always prepared with questions for me and notes on previous conversations. I am so glad I found Fred.

Fred is an exceptionally kind, grounded, and thoughtful clinician. He brings a calm, steady presence to his sessions and creates an environment that feels both safe and genuinely supportive. It’s clear he deeply cares about his clients and takes the time to really understand what’s going on beneath the surface. His insight and compassion make him a rare find, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who blends warmth, professionalism, and depth.
