About Me
Helping you heal attachment wounds and complex trauma through the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol.
I work with people who want to feel more secure, connected, and truly at home in themselves. Many of my clients are healing from early relational wounds or complex trauma and are ready for change that goes deeper than traditional talk therapy.
Through the gentle, research-based, trauma-informed approach of the Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) Protocol I guide you in creating new internal experiences of safety, trust, and belonging. These experiences become the foundation for lasting change in how you relate to yourself and others.
My Approach
Healing attachment patterns isn’t about fixing yourself, it’s about rewiring your nervous system to know, deeply and viscerally, that you are safe, loved, and worthy.
In our work together we use structured, guided imagery to install new working models of care and protection. You don’t have to rehash painful memories or tell your life story in detail. Instead, we work directly with the root of emotional and relational patterns, allowing them to reorganize naturally.

“Working with Evan to for two years has softened my outlook on life. His ability to tailor each session based on my need in the moment was skillful. I appreciated his unique quality of tying aspects of the IPF protocol to personal challenges I made him aware of. Look no further; you will be in caring and thoughtful facilitation.”

My Path to This Work
Like many people drawn to this field, I came to attachment repair through my own need for it. I began my personal journey with meditation, exploring awareness practices that revealed the patterns keeping me stuck. While this gave me insight, it wasn’t until I discovered the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol that things truly shifted in a deep way.
I trained directly in IPF with the protocol’s creator, Dr. Daniel P. Brown, and his senior student George Haas of Mettagroup, and integrated my background in meditation, trauma-informed facilitation, and contemplative practice into my own. My own experience showed me that security isn’t just a concept, it’s a felt sense you can build and strengthen inside yourself.
This is the same process I now offer clients: a compassionate, structured path to internal safety and deeper connection.

“I worked with Evan as my Ideal Parent Figure facilitator for a year and a half. IPF was transformative for me – it shifted my experience in a way that nothing before had. I felt a sense of safety, love, and security in myself that I had never experienced before. I also watched as my relationships became more secure and I became less reactive.
Evan was an amazing guide through this time. I felt a deep sense of trust in his knowledge – it felt like every question I came to him with, he was able to meet me in. He has a very stable, calm, reliable presence. Especially when some of the emotional waves would get intense, Evan was such a lifeline – we were able to schedule sessions sometimes every few days, and I felt so held. I’ve also felt so supported in my own goals by Evan, he’s constantly cheering me on and encouraging me to do what I care about.
Evan’s presence in my life has been so special and I am so grateful for the relationship we’ve built.”
