My Approach

​

To suffer needlessly is not noble; it is often the result of isolation, silence, or feeling unseen. Pain may be part of being human, but it shouldn’t have to be carried alone.

​

Toph specializes in working with couples, artists, teens, and individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression. His approach is grounded in attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and a deep curiosity about how our earliest relationships and experiences shape the ways we connect, protect ourselves, and navigate conflict today. With couples, he works to uncover the deeper hurts and unmet needs beneath recurring patterns, helping partners move beyond the same arguments toward greater understanding, security, and connection.

​

Toph especially enjoys working with overthinkers, people from high-expectation backgrounds, and those who feel caught between who they believe they should be and who they feel they really are. He is drawn to the tension between achievement and authenticity, the ways we learn to hide parts of ourselves to gain acceptance, and the challenge of figuring out what we actually want beneath the expectations we’ve inherited or internalized.
