My practice takes a holistic approach to psychological and emotional wellness, informed by my understanding of the need to incorporate an understanding of a person’s social and environmental surroundings to accurately assess and address their mental health. My clinical approach draws from a number of modalities including Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and is also influenced by postcolonial theory.

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.

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.

In my 20+ years of experience, I believe in holistic, healing therapy, where there is no “typical treatment” for a “typical person.” So instead, I integrate a strength-based approach, incorporating Trauma-Focused CBT, Mindfulness Training, and Somatic Experiencing, all while incorporating my multicultural, international lens.

I have an extensive trauma therapy background, including sexual trauma and assault and psychological first aid. My specialties include mentoring through life transitions, personal growth, self-esteem, men’s mental health, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Most importantly, I have dedicated my profession to cultivating a mindful, intentional life.

In my experience, few individuals come to therapy feeling that “typical” treatment categories adequately capture their difficulties, hopes, and fears.
Instead, the individuals I work with sometimes describe feeling preoccupied by aspects of important relationships, blocked in their ability to express themselves authentically, or lacking self-confidence. Initially, some may even have trouble finding the right words to describe the changes they’d like to make. Finding these words—the right words—to describe what’s wrong and what relief would look like is a central part of treatment.

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 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.
