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

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.

I specialize in providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, phobias, and panic attacks.

At Werking, we believe men’s mental health deserves the same attention as physical health. Too often, men are told to “push through” or stay silent, but real strength comes from doing the work of healing. Our approach combines therapy and medication management to help men build resilience, balance, and confidence.

We know it takes effort to face challenges head-on, and we’re here to meet you where you are, walk beside you, and put in the work with you. Because when you show up for yourself, therapy truly starts Werking

I work on helping young men reclaim their stories and navigate their emotions through the works of Creative arts therapy and talk therapy. I specialize in helping young men with anxiety, depressive, trauma, and anger management. I also have work with those recently influenced by the Manosphere and political trauma.

Creative arts therapy is a humanist tool where we listen to the client and work to find a groove and project that best suits the clients needs and meet them where they are at. We will work together to help find your own voice and break stigma to help find the man you want to be and find your path.

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 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 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.
