The decision to seek therapy is not easy. It means we have to confront the truth that we are struggling in some facet of our life and need help finding resolution. I specialize in brain-body based therapies, such as EMDR and Brainspotting, which tap into the source of our emotional wounds located in the body. These healing modalities are highly effective in helping identify and resolve the roots of one’s distress, presenting as anxiety, depression, stress or trauma(s) that are negatively impacting your life and overall wellbeing.

Therapy with me is a mix of honest reflection and practical tools. It’s a space where you can drop the pressure to have it all together and get real about what’s working – and what’s not. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and beliefs that are keeping you stuck and build clear, effective strategies to help you move forward with purpose.

I help professional men reduce stress, improve relationships, and reconnect with purpose in work and life. My approach blends insight and action – so you don’t just talk about change, you start living it. You don’t have to keep going in circles. Schedule a free consultation today, and let’s get to work.

I believe the most meaningful way to connect is through listening. Each person has a unique and interesting story that should be heard. Perhaps the greatest support we can offer is our undivided attention. I consider it a privilege to provide a safe space where people discover new aspects of themselves.

Couples Counseling, Addiction, and Men’s Issues are my specialty.

In my practice as a therapist I use the research on what works to help my clients get the outcomes they want: better relationships, managed anxiety, less depression and more control over life. I do not limit our work into any single modality but blend a variety of techniques to tailor my approach for each individual. I draw influence from cognitive behavioral, humanistic and dynamic psychotherapy. Therapy is a place to develop and apply philosophy to get to a different place than we are able to get on our own. I’m excited to join you!

I specialize in helping men explore a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, societal expectations, work related stress, masculinity norms, and substance abuse.

My focus has been to help my clients get unstuck from unhelpful behavioral patterns that are typically born out of generational trauma, and teach them ways to attend to their emotional and spiritual needs so that they are less reactive to triggers around them and more intentional with the decisions they make. This applies to couples’ work, addiction counseling, and spiritual healing.

I provide integrative psychodynamic therapy to adult men of immigrant parents navigating life transitions, family of origin stress and relationship struggles. Many people I work with struggle with trust, loneliness and emotional intimacy or with anxiety, depression or unresolved trauma.

I believe therapy takes courage and humility to confront what is uncomfortable, allowing us to break free from patterns that keep us stuck and move toward greater freedom. As your therapist, I see myself as a guide, offering the right balance of support, perspective and challenge to foster meaningful change and growth.

Don’t wait to lose everything, before you realize you’ll do anything to get it back… Reach out to reduce chaos, feelings of loneliness & overwhelming frustrations.

Many men struggle to maintain their desired life because of emotional dysregulation, relationship strains, technological distractions, addictive behaviors (alcohol, weed, porn, masturbation & cute girls) & not prioritizing physical health, food, sleep, faith, & work-life balance.

Feelings of being stuck leak into your romantic relationship, interactions with your kids, a disconnect w/ friends, & leads to a loss of identity. “Trying harder” hasn’t been working. Don’t let anxiety, stress, frustrations, & hopelessness own you.

Looking forward to connecting!

You feel overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled. Maybe your relationship feels like it’s crashing and burning. You have lost motivation, direction, and a sense of purpose. You are not sure when it started, but you do not feel the same. You got here because you know something is off. But you do not want to stay this way. You want more out of friendships, coupledom, parenthood, work and life. You want to feel refreshed, energized, healthy and ready to tackle the days. You want to be back on track – like you again, but an expanded version. You want to be full of life. You want the fire back. You came to the right place. I help guys just like you get the fire back and get back to life!
