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.

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.

Seeking therapy is not an easy step, but you are taking the first step to make meaningful change. Life can be stressful, painful, and frustrating. I am here to help relieve some of that frustration by creating a supportive space for you to be your true self. My approach to therapy is to help you understand your thoughts and behavior through a new lens, unraveling the root of your difficulties. I am eclectic in my work and have adapted a very holistic approach. I am relational in my work as I see people as social beings, with a lot of issues stemming from interpersonal struggles. Through our work together you will gain insight, learn how to deal in a more adaptive way to your struggles and become more in touch with your thoughts and feelings

I HELP MILLENNIAL AND GEN X PROFESSIONALS CONSCIOUSLY GET WHAT THEY WANT (IN LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS). Life is overwhelming. Between work, relationships, and technology calling for your attention at every moment, it’s extremely difficult to remain calm and grounded. We can lose our sense of purpose and passion.

Unlike other therapists who merely sit and listen, I take an active and engaged approach. You may find yourself in a guided meditation or a role-play exercise. There may be optional homework assignments. We’ll tune into exactly what you need. I’m here to support you to find your unique, confident voice.

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 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.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples looking to explore issues related to relationships, sex and sexuality. Often times shame, guilt, anxiety and sadness are the core emotions at the center of our distress. Together we can work towards facing some of these negative and uncomfortable feelings in order to lead you towards a path of healing and empowerment. In understanding yourself and your needs better I hope you can begin to feel more confident in making decisions, letting go of the things you may have been holding onto, or feeling more connected to yourself and others.
