You can be a rockstar at work while your home life suffers.
Modalities:
EMDR Therapy to address emotional overload and nervous system burnout
Psychodynamic therapy to uncover root patterns and build insight
Existential Therapy: Explore meaning, find your purpose, and define what joy means to you.
No pop-psychology or trendy hacks—just deep, effective work

What clients say:
“Zack was a patient and caring guide through a difficult time.
He provided a therapeutic relationship that offered a balance of support and challenge, helping me build a stronger foundation from which to live my life.
Through EMDR I was also able to travel to the root of many beliefs that were stifling my growth — making core changes to how I see myself and my world — opening up more love in all directions.
I’m grateful.”

Why Therapy (Not Coaching)
Therapy
Focuses on what’s blocking you
Works on underlying beliefs & trauma
Helps release pressure
Internal alignment
Coaching
Focuses on goals and structure
Works on discipline
Can increase pressure
External accountability
If coaching hasn’t worked—or hasn’t been enough—therapy might be what’s next.
