I specialize in empowering young adults in their late teens, 20s, and 30s reclaim confidence, happiness, and fulfillment, despite the challenges of low self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship struggles.

If you struggle with feeling that you are not enough, thinking that something is wrong with you, self-criticism when you don’t meet impossible standards, constant comparison that leaves you feeling “less than”, or the debilitating need for external validation, approval, and desire to please others even it its at your own expense, I would love to play a part in helping you get to the root cause of your concerns and equip you with the knowledge and tools needed for lasting positive change.

As a man, prioritizing your mental health is crucial, and often, it’s overlooked or downplayed. I understand that men face unique challenges and life transitions that require specialized support.

I’ve personally struggled with mental health, so I understand the importance of having the right support. My specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method for couples, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness allows me to offer tailored support for men dealing with various issues. Whether you’re navigating childhood trauma, experiencing postpartum depression, adapting to fatherhood, or transitioning into retirement, I’m here to help.

Remember, seeking mental health support is a sign of strength, and taking care of your mental well-being is vital for leading a fulfilling life. Let’s work together to address your unique needs and help you achieve lasting mental health.

My clients receive a genuine, dedicated, and committed therapist. I always make sure I am checking in and seeking feedback to ensure our time together is meaningful and beneficial. I have been told many times that I am approachable, funny, and easy to talk to. If I can make someone laugh when they are dealing with a difficult situation, then why not? I am straight-forward and supportive. I have a decade of experience as a social worker and have the clinical skills to know how to approach different personalities in order to build rapport in a short time frame.
