HI, I’M Hunter.

Who I am

I bring my whole self to this work. That means I'm engaged, warm, and I don't take myself too seriously. I genuinely look forward to the people I get to sit with every day, and I think that comes through. Therapy with me isn't something I do at you. It's something we do together. I ask for feedback, I check in on how it's going, and I'm willing to adjust when something isn't working.

I work with clients to build a clear sense of what we're doing and why — so the progress is real, not performed.

How I got here

People have always fascinated me. I've been that way my whole life — drawn to what's underneath, curious about why people do what they do, genuinely interested in the inner lives of the people around me. In some ways I was always heading here. I just took the long way.

Before I became a therapist I worked in entertainment and tech — industries that move fast, reward performance, and don't always leave much room for the inner life. It took doing a lot of living first. Eventually something clicked. I'd always been drawn to this kind of work. I finally felt worthy of it.

I trained at Syracuse University, the first accredited MFT program in the country, and built a practice around the kind of therapy I wish I'd had access to earlier in my own life.

How I work

My approach is attachment-based, relational, and integrative. I think systemically — meaning I'm always interested in the larger picture: your family history, your relationship patterns, the roles you learned to play and the ones you've outgrown. I draw from IFS, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, but the center of the work is always the relationship between us.

I work from a lens I call "empathic curiosity" — a genuine interest in everything about a person, not just what's wrong. When people feel that kind of attention, something opens up. They go places in themselves they didn't expect to go.

Outside the office

I'm usually listening to music, reading crime fiction, or watching old movies with my family. Unexpected conversations seem to find me wherever I go.
