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.

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.

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 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.
