If you are interested in learning more about me and my work, feel free to reach out so we can schedule a free fifteen-minute consultation call and see if we are a good fit.

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.

I use brief, evidence-based treatments to help you feel better quickly. My style is empathic, realistic, and optimistic. I view therapy as a collaborative process, mainly focused on the here-and-now, where we work together to enable you to overcome the barriers between you and your goals.
You are the expert in you – we’ll create a plan that is personalized to your specific values, identities, and experiences. We’ll practice new skills and strategies so that you feel confident using them on your own to get better results at work, home, and in your relationships.

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.

Together we will engage in an empathetic, genuine, and caring way, making my approach non-judgmental, eclectic, and safe. We will focus on where you are in the moment and what you want to develop in the process. My clients often go through overwhelming life transitions, from events such as moving away from home to losing a loved one. I also work with people who have faced challenges in the workplace, including people of color, women, and people who are LGBTQ.

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.

For men who are used to being in control, anxiety can feel like something to push past rather than address. But ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. It often builds up over time, impacting your focus, relationships, and overall well-being. I help high-achieving men break out of stress and overthinking, work with emotions in a way that feels productive, and regain a sense of confidence and control.
