About Zach

Zach specializes in working with people dealing with addictions, out of control or compulsive sexual behavior, and trauma, whether that trauma happened years ago or more recently. He works with people early in recovery, people who’ve been on this path for a while, and people who aren’t even sure yet whether what they’re dealing with is a problem. Wherever you’re starting from, he offers feedback that’s direct without losing the support underneath it.

Many of the people he works with are carrying more than one thing at once, broken trust, shame, fear of losing what matters most, or the exhausting work of trying to hold everything together while it quietly falls apart. Zach slows that down with you, works to understand what’s actually underneath the behavior, and helps you heal the patterns driving it, not just the behavior itself.

His services are LGBTQ+ affirming, including for gay and lesbian clients specifically. You won’t need to hide or explain who you are in session.

If this feels like the right fit so far, schedule a time so we can explore how therapy might help.

How I Work

Direct & Gentle+
I offer feedback that’s honest and direct, without losing the support underneath it. You won’t get vague reassurance, and you won’t get lectured either, just a clear, steady read on what’s actually happening, delivered with care.
LGBTQ+ Affirming+
If you identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, it’s important to me that you know I’m an open ally, whether you’re working through coming out, self-acceptance, or simply want an affirming space while you work on other things.
Shame & Healing Shame+
Shame keeps a lot of people stuck longer than the behavior itself does. I help clients take real accountability and responsibility for what’s happened, while learning to practice self-kindness instead of the self-punishment that usually keeps people from actually changing. Accountability without shame is the goal, not accountability instead of it.
Trauma-Focused+
A lot of what looks like a behavior problem is actually a trauma response underneath it. We’ll work to understand what’s driving the pattern, not just the pattern itself, whether that trauma happened recently or a long time ago.
Relational+
Most of what brings people in touches their closest relationships, broken trust, distance, or just not knowing how to reconnect. We’ll look at what’s happening between you and the people who matter most, not just what’s happening inside you.
Substance Use and Sex Addiction Recovery+
If you’re wondering whether alcohol, drugs, or sexual behavior have become a problem, you don’t need to have it figured out before reaching out. We’ll explore where you’re at together, what’s working, what isn’t, and what change might look like on your terms. There’s no judgment here, just an honest look at what you want your life to look like.
Men’s Sexual Compulsivity Group+
This group focuses on establishing and maintaining long-term recovery while helping you work toward goals like improving relationships, building healthy boundaries, resolving trauma, and practicing real self-care. It currently meets Tuesday evenings and Friday mornings. Contact me to learn more about openings.
