My integrative approach to therapy is tailored to your unique and specific needs. This therapeutic style helps you explore core beliefs about yourself and facilitates growth towards inner strength and resilience. Through empathy, warmth and positive self-regard, I create space for you to believe and trust in yourself.
I have more than 20 years experience working with those who have experienced trauma, depression and anxiety. I use a combination of evidence-based therapies which include: cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and ego state therapy. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey!

I believe the most meaningful way to connect is through listening. Each person has a unique and interesting story that should be heard. Perhaps the greatest support we can offer is our undivided attention. I consider it a privilege to provide a safe space where people discover new aspects of themselves.
Couples Counseling, Addiction, and Men’s Issues are my specialty.

I specialize in men’s therapy to improve body, mind, and soul by utilizing a holistic approach with an emphasis on personal values. My goal is to treat the whole person, not just symptoms, giving men an opportunity to re-examine a strength narrative through adaptive coping strategies to regulate emotions and achieve balance.

I have been a mental health provider for nearly 20 years. I absolutely love what I do! I was trained psychoanalytically but also use a humanistic, client-centered and eclectic approach to therapy. I am a warm, caring and engaging therapist. I enjoy working with male clients and have had tremendous success in treating men with depression, anxiety and relationship issues.
Thank you.

I view therapy as being invited to explore ourselves in a welcoming way with someone with kindness who shares knowledge about how we function as humans, so we can gain an understanding for how we have functioned, what we need to thrive, and then thrive. This is self-worth and mastery. And with it comes our being more loving toward toward others and toward ourselves.

I am an EMDR trauma therapist and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in training who works with anxious overachievers and trauma survivors who are ready for authentic relationships with themselves, their bodies, and others. Clients may come in with recurring relationship issues, burnout, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, career/creativity blocks, low self esteem, chronic pain, experiences of abuse, suicidal ideation, and body image concerns. I support clients in finding their clarity, freedom, and inner voice to reconnect with their life force energy in order to move through difficult experiences. My goal is to help clients feel less alone and more connected to the world around them…it is possible!

I provide integrative psychodynamic therapy to adult men of immigrant parents navigating life transitions, family of origin stress and relationship struggles. Many people I work with struggle with trust, loneliness and emotional intimacy or with anxiety, depression or unresolved trauma.
I believe therapy takes courage and humility to confront what is uncomfortable, allowing us to break free from patterns that keep us stuck and move toward greater freedom. As your therapist, I see myself as a guide, offering the right balance of support, perspective and challenge to foster meaningful change and growth.

I know firsthand how hard it can be to set aside society’s expectations of traditional masculinity and admit that it might be time to ask for help. As men, we are conditioned to try and solve life’s many complexities on our own, but the truth is reaching out for help shows immense strength, not weakness.
Perhaps you found my profile because you are considering therapy, and for that I applaud you. You have taken the first step toward healing and that is an incredible start. Maybe you still feel uncomfortable with the idea of therapy or you found me by accident. In that case, I sincerely look forward to answering your questions about how this could help improve your life as well. Either way, I am glad that you are here.

My practice can help you take stock of childhood messages you learned around toxic masculinity and heteronormativity so you can truly let go of what is no longer serving a purpose in your life. Depression, suicidal thoughts, self harming, addiction and going through tough periods in your relationships can be challenging. You don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can help you heal old relational trauma that is causing you distress, so you can be your best self at work, with friends and loved ones and in your intimate relationships.

Don’t wait to lose everything, before you realize you’ll do anything to get it back… Reach out to reduce chaos, feelings of loneliness & overwhelming frustrations.
Many men struggle to maintain their desired life because of emotional dysregulation, relationship strains, technological distractions, addictive behaviors (alcohol, weed, porn, masturbation & cute girls) & not prioritizing physical health, food, sleep, faith, & work-life balance.
Feelings of being stuck leak into your romantic relationship, interactions with your kids, a disconnect w/ friends, & leads to a loss of identity. “Trying harder” hasn’t been working. Don’t let anxiety, stress, frustrations, & hopelessness own you.
Looking forward to connecting!
