As a psychotherapist (LCSW), I support people through a non-pathologizing approach by offering the compassion and connection we all need to heal. I affirm your gender, sexuality, culture, race, neurodiversity, and the backgrounds that blend to make you who you are today.

I utilize a variety of modalities based on the person(s) in front of me. Relational work is embedded within every intervention.

Methods include Internal Family Systems, Somatics, Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health focused on dads & fatherhood,  Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Relational Life Therapy, Brainspotting, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

I see our sessions as a time to guide you and a place to teach you so that when you leave the office, you will have those skills within yourself. I meet with clients virtually weekly and bi-weekly in California and New York. I am an out-of provider and can provide superbills if you are interested in submitting them for reimbursement. We also have therapists in training—graduate mental health interns—who provide therapy to expand access.

Additionally, I provide clinical consultation, supervision, and training for those interested in learning additional skills outside of a psychotherapy relationship. Please let me know in your message if this is of interest.

I work on helping young men reclaim their stories and navigate their emotions through the works of Creative arts therapy and talk therapy. I specialize in helping young men with anxiety, depressive, trauma, and anger management. I also have work with those recently influenced by the Manosphere and political trauma.

Creative arts therapy is a humanist tool where we listen to the client and work to find a groove and project that best suits the clients needs and meet them where they are at. We will work together to help find your own voice and break stigma to help find the man you want to be and find your path.

I am drawn to helping people who have dealt with trauma and feel persistent isolation and sadness in their daily lives. By looking at things together a different way, we can navigate a different path. Let’s explore together, like astronauts! By gaining perspective, you can find more opportunities for strength and agency in your daily life.

My goal is to help you make own space to think about things you didn’t know were possible, a safe space for exploration and support you on this path. Making the first step can be intimidating, but we can also go to new places. Contact me to setup a free consultation call to figure out how we can move forward together.

Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work with men who are capable, responsible, and successful, yet feel lonely, disconnected, or quietly dissatisfied with their lives. Many describe going through the motions, holding things together for others, or feeling unsure why success, whether financial, familial, or romantic, hasn’t brought a deeper sense of fulfillment.

My approach is existential, relational and reflective, humorous at times, and focused on understanding how you’ve learned to manage closeness, responsibility, and uncertainty, and what that has required of you over time. Therapy is a space to think honestly, feel more connected, and explore who you want to be.
