The Pathfinder Team

Pathfinder is a small, deliberately built practice. We are not a referral list and we are not a directory. Every clinician on this team works inside the same frame, the same named thinkers, the same tone, the same standard for honesty, and every clinician was chosen for fit with the people we serve, not for availability.

When you book a free consult, a human reads it and matches you with the clinician most likely to do the actual work for what you are dealing with. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.

From the Founder

​

I built Pathfinder because the therapy I needed, when I needed it, was hard to find — direct without being cold, serious about the big questions without being precious about them, practical without turning into a wellness product. I wanted a room where meaning, mortality, freedom, and responsibility could sit on the table as ordinary clinical material, right alongside sleep, work, and the people you go home to.

​

I named it Pathfinder for a reason. I've always done my clearest thinking in the mountains, above the treeline, where the noise drops away and the terrain demands your full attention. That's what I want this work to do — not hand you a map someone else drew, but help you read the terrain of your own life clearly enough to find a path that's actually yours.

​

Pathfinder outgrew a single caseload, so I'm building a team carefully. Every clinician here works inside the same frame — Yalom in how we sit with what can't be fixed, Frankl in how we treat meaning as a resource rather than a slogan, Aurelius in the discipline we bring to what is and isn't ours to carry. The accent changes from clinician to clinician. The frame does not.
