Sometimes men need an empathic, strong male therapist to gain customized, practical tools to build a good life. I help highly-sensitive, highly-intelligent people, including professionals in business, healthcare, the arts, education, emerging adults, and university students. They might have achieved success in some domain and now feel stuck, as past treatment modalities may have been ineffective. Many of these kind, caring, and strong individuals have survived significant trauma; I work to help them regain and improve agency, autonomy, competence, and relatedness through dialectical behavior therapy, teaching and learning, and social entrepreneurship, so they can live full lives with resilience, joy, and peace.

My practice is deeply empathetic and intuitive, utilizes unique life experience and is rooted in the psychodynamic and attachment theory modalities. I also apply trauma-informed care, CBT, and other evidence-based practices, which allows clients to see real and actual positive changes in their lives. For me, process and progress go hand in hand.

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.

Quite simply, psychotherapy is about conversations. The conversations we have with ourselves and with others. We often try so many different tactics to live happier more fulfilling lives, and we come to realize that it isn’t always enough. A therapeutic conversation is based on an open and genuine collaboration between client and therapist; a relationship built on trust, honesty, and understanding. As the foundation for good therapeutic work, it’s essential to feel comfortable and cared for. I hope to provide this conversation.

Many of my clients feel uncomfortable or unsatisfied going through their daily lives, though they aren’t quite sure why. This generally manifests into anxiety or depression, feeling disconnected from themselves and others, and not being able to make change. I specialize in helping clients chart a course for enlightenment and self-improvement through conversations about past and current ways of navigating the world , along with building up psychological tools to handle life’s stressors.

I’m a licensed psychologist specialized in working with men who are overwhelmed, stuck, and just doing their best to survive. I see how hard you’re trying. I can help you get relief, feel reconnected to your purpose, and show up fully for your loved ones. If you’ve opened up in the past and felt judged or misunderstood, or you’re nervous about starting therapy for the first time, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable.
In our sessions, you will feel truly understood and accepted by me, especially for the parts of yourself you’ve had to hide underground for so long. You’ll find that our work translates into greater self-esteem, improved ability to cope with any and all emotions, and better communication with the people who matter most to you.
I know you’re used to handling things alone or just muscling through. Let’s work together to try something new. When you reach out, I’ll respond within a day to schedule a free consultation. I am currently accepting clients for virtual therapy in New York & Florida.

I welcome adolescents and adults who are experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, mood instability, and trauma. I am particularly attuned to the difficulties men face in understanding, experiencing, and expressing our emotions. I approach my work with compassion and warmth, along with deep respect for each individual’s experience and identities. I primarily use relational and psychodynamic modalities. This means I place an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, and collaborate with my clients to identify, explore, and change relationship and behavior patterns. I believe a therapist can be a “friendly mirror,” gently guiding us to see and accept all parts of ourselves.

I’m passionate about helping clients understand the stressors and roadblocks in their lives and develop skills and tools to ensure change is possible and sustainable.

My approach is shaped by my own healing journey through belonging, intergenerational trauma, and people-pleasing. I show up with curiosity, understanding, and a commitment to advocacy against prejudice.

My work often focuses on identity, anxiety, self-esteem, environmental stress, and life transitions. If you want honest conversations about identity, emotions, and the roles we’ve been taught to play.

If you are looking for therapy that feels human, collaborative, and built for real change, I would love to connect.
