I specialize in trauma and working with people who are impacted by stress, depression, anxiety, addiction, isolation, control issues, relationship issues, abusive relationships, anger management issues, and internalized oppression. If your spirituality is important to you, I’m trained and experienced incorporating people’s spiritual experiences and beliefs.
I will tailor our sessions to who you are and what you need so that our time together encourages personal growth, healing, and positive changes that ripple out across your life. If you are interested in learning more or are ready to make an appointment, then I encourage you to reach out.

I am a practitioner who truly believes that everyone heals in different ways and everyone deserves access to that healing.

Are you feeling stuck? Ready to feel more peace? More joy? Ready to take the next step towards stronger relationships, self love, laughing more, and finding your sense of purpose? My intent as a therapist is to become a mirror, reflecting your deepest desires, life purpose, and the patterns that keep you from living your fullest life.
I utilize trauma- informed evidence-based practices that help the therapy move quickly such as EMDR and CBT helping you identify core beliefs and resolve inflexible patterns of thoughts- feelings- and behaviors. I look forward to connecting with you!

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.

I specialize in men’s mental health, focusing on the intersection of OCD, chronic pain/illness, and agoraphobia/panic disorder. My work centers on fostering resilience, exploring masculinity, and helping clients create more meaning in their lives. I strive to support men as they navigate life’s complexities while addressing the unique pressures and expectations they face. Through an authentic, educational, and collaborative approach, I help clients break unhelpful patterns, embrace support, and build fulfilling, authentic lives.

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.

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.

Asking for help can be a tremendously difficult task and you have already taken a great step in your own healing process. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, existential questions, relationship issues or other obstacles life might throw your way, we can define what therapy should look and feel like for you. My approach to therapy relational, person-centered, and exploratory. Treatment may include CBT and mindfulness exercises as tools to improve self-awareness and grounding in the present moment. Examining the relationship between your thoughts, emotions and behavioral patterns will help guide our work together in order to cultivate healing change.
