Most of the time the hardest part of change is the decision to do something different. There are times when we need some help to bring focus, clarity, and peace to our lives. At Purple Heart Counseling, I utilize a mindfulness and introspective approach to help identify your thoughts and feelings. We can focus on your goals and strive towards you living a more optimal and healthy life. I would like to be able to help you create a safe place and a safe space that you feel comfortable to work on the issues that are impacting you. I welcome you to begin your journey today to a healthier tomorrow.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the first will begin with an introduction and being exploring the challenges that you are facing. We will explore your history and work on setting goals and plans for future sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having served in the military, it is very important to me to continue working with veterans, who suffer with PTSD and assist them in transitioning back to civilian life. I welcome you to begin your journey today to a healthier tomorrow.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am a sex educator / therapist and work with individuals and couples dealing with many challenges: including relationship conflicts, issues with intimacy and sex, marriage counseling. I help individuals work on both men's and women's issues, helping process through past trauma and things that keep a person stuck in the past.

I knew within about 15 minutes that I picked the right therapist! I feel he is a great fit for me & asked me the right questions to help me open up!

I came to Matt based on the background he seemed to have dealing with family and relationship change, and he was/is absolutely qualified to work someone through these issues. I began meeting with him in October ‘24, and now (July ‘25) I feel much better than I did back then. Had you told me in October how I’d feel now, I’d think you were lying to me. I feel a big part of my healing journey is attributed to his expertise. Thanks, Matt!

Matthew was incredibly thoughtful and attentive throughout our session. He ensured that every aspect of our concerns was thoroughly discussed, making us feel truly heard and understood. His authentic and solution-oriented approach made a significant impact on us, and his ability to listen deeply and provide insightful feedback helped us approach challenging conversations. Highly recommend his guidance to anyone seeking meaningful, impactful therapy.
