Who Am I

I do not position myself above the work. I move within it - alongside my clients in this work. The disciplines of awareness, regulation, and refinement that I invite them into are disciplines I practice myself.

I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology and have advanced training in complex trauma and performance optimization. My work is grounded in depth psychology and contemporary neuroscience, with a clinical focus on nervous system regulation and reprogramming, and sustainable high-level functioning.

Silvering Psychological is rooted in the metaphor of silvering — the process by which clear glass becomes a mirror. Each of us views the world through a lens shaped by attachment history, implicit memory, adaptation, and belief structures that operate largely outside conscious awareness. My work is to help refine that lens, transforming it into a mirror via the process of silvering, the process of the work. Through disciplined reflection and carefully calibrated intervention, unconscious patterns become visible — and therefore changeable.

I work with thoughtful, driven individuals — often executives, physicians, attorneys, clinicians, founders, and other high performers — who function at a high level yet recognize the internal strain of unresolved trauma, relational complexity, or chronic physiological activation. Many have achieved external success while quietly carrying patterns that no longer serve them. Therapy becomes a space to examine the architecture beneath performance and restore alignment.

My approach is a structured integration of depth-oriented psychology, parts work, somatic regulation, belief restructuring, meditation, and values-based action. It is not eclectic. It is intentional and phase-based, designed to translate insight into measurable shifts in behavior, relationships, and internal experience.

Complex trauma frequently embeds itself beneath competence — driving achievement while constraining freedom. When we silver the lens, we identify where adaptation has become limitation and where greater coherence is possible. The goal is not only symptom relief, but integration: clarity, steadiness, and sustainable excellence.

Outside the therapy room, I am an avid reader and lifelong student of psychology, history, sociology, and the intersection of science, spirituality & mysticism. I value physical wellness, time in nature, and practices that support nervous system health and embodied resilience. I attempt to embrace joy in the many forms in which it is available to be indulged. My professional and personal commitments are aligned around the same principle: refinement through awareness and aligned action.

Silvering is the work of seeing clearly — and living accordingly. It is for individuals ready to look closely and live with greater intention.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Our work will be engaged and intentional. It will challenge both of us — myself to remain deeply attuned and discerning, and you to examine patterns honestly and commit to change meaningfully. Growth requires effort, and I do not shy away from that effort, nor do I shy away from holding my clients to it.

You can expect sharp awareness, highly developed clinical judgment, and interventions that are deliberate. I pay close attention — to language, physiology, pacing, and the subtleties beneath what is spoken.

I also bring humor and humanity into the room. Insight does not require severity. Often, clarity emerges more easily when we can hold complexity with composure — and occasionally, levity.

I am deeply invested in this work. Passionate, yes — but purposeful. I care about outcomes. I care about coherence. And I care about helping you build a life that reflects who you are becoming, not merely who you adapted to be.
