Life is full of storms. The ebbs and flows they bring can leave anyone feeling shipwrecked. My role as a counselor is a grounding one: to equip and enable you to find light through the darkness. I work with men and women that have experienced depressions, anger, or past hurts that are causing their futures to look bleak.

When you step into my office you will be warmly greeted in a judgement-free setting. The therapeutic process starts with a thorough assessment to really get to know who you are and where you are at, because the issues you have don’t define who you are as a person. We will work together to identify the problem areas and employ the therapeutic process to foster growth. I believe the therapeutic process needs to be direct, honest, and specifically tailored to the nuances of you and your situation. Certification in Sex Therapy and in Consensual Non-Monogamy through Sexual Health Alliance is in progress. My personal brand of therapy allows you to separate you from your issues and rewrite the story of your life to reflect who you truly are.

My professional experience includes being an embedded psychologist in a U.S. Special Ops squadron on Europe and Power 5 Conference NCAA university athletic departments. I have learned that most men benefit from cognitive processing and cognitive-behavioural approaches, with a touch of humanism. I have experience working with men who are confronting relationship issues, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression.

The most common phrase I hear from clients is “not good enough.” Many of us come to believe that we are unworthy of acceptance, so we conceal aspects of our identities that others might view as unacceptable and present a fragmented version of ourselves to others. My task as a therapist is to create a safe environment in which you can be your whole self, without fear of judgment. I am committed not only to understanding and validating you, but also to helping you learn how to understand and validate yourself. I am a licensed psychologist providing virtual therapy to adult clients, and my specialties include men’s issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, early childhood trauma, shame, anger, depression, anxiety, and occupational concerns.

I work with a broad spectrum of clients, including non-traditional relationships (such as poly/open), premarital couples, and those exploring alternative sexuality (kink/fetish). My expertise extends to addressing communication challenges, family dynamics, sex and sexuality issues, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. As an LGBTQ+ affirming and Kink affirming therapist, I offer a supportive and practical approach, integrating various methods to provide personalized solutions. To name a few approaches I utilize: IFS, Out of Control Sexual Behaviors approach, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with couples, the Gottman theory, psychodynamic, somatic work, and a positive sex therapy approach.

Our world is undeniably gendered, and there are unique challenges, special strengths, and certain spoken and unspoken expectations that come with navigating the male experience. I create a therapeutic space that is conversational, non-judgmental, connective, and supportive to help you process, understand, and cope with your personal challenges. I particularly enjoy working with men who are looking to use their analytical strengths to expand their skill set in the realm of emotional awareness.

Change is inevitable in life. My work as a counselor helps you make positive changes in your life and understand any barriers to making progress.
Oftentimes, a precursor to change is strife, difficulty, and confusion about what we truly want. Discerning what we desire – what fills us with vitality- is the work of psychotherapy. It can be difficult to know what we want if we’re stuck in habits, relationships, or patterns that no longer serve us or exist only to help us numb ourselves. Our minds crave novelty, but they also desire stability. But when stability turns to rigidity turns to stagnation – it becomes time for compassionate self-examination.

My approach to therapy has its foundation in strengths-based interventions that create emotional safety and facilitate insight and transformation. I draw from a variety of orientations, including client-centered, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, positive psychology, mindfulness, and body-based therapies, such as Trauma Sensitive Yoga. I take an ecological approach to therapy, considering each person’s unique history, experiences, and communities.

Has fighting with anxiety, planning your day around triggers, or feeling distracted become a part of your everyday life? Trauma doesn’t always go away when it’s over and sometimes it interferes with your life, relationships, and overall health. It can be difficult to keep moving forward, especially when you have frequent symptoms. Let’s work together to find practical solutions for you and relief from symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, dissociation, childhood trauma, overcoming emotional abuse, or difficulties coping with complicated grief or major life changes.
My training in various methods, including EMDR & Internal Family Systems, means we can find the one that works best for you.

The majority of my research and practice has centered around issues with masculinity, and I am especially passionate about providing services to men of color. I understand being in therapy can be difficult – it’s you being vulnerable, meeting a new person, breaking cultural and societal barriers, and getting to know parts of yourself that you’d maybe intentionally turned away from. My goal as a psychologist is to connect with, walk beside, and consistently challenge you in the goals you have set for yourself… and to help you identify a place to start when the goal may not be clear yet.
