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.

Hi, I’m passionate about creating spaces where men feel heard and seen. In a society that looks down on mental health care, especially for men, my job is to break down those barriers.

I am especially passionate about de-stigmatizing mental health for men by challenging the idea that vulnerability is weakness. Instead, I view emotional honesty and embodied awareness as sources of resilience and strength.

My approach is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and humorous. I teach skills for emotional regulation. I also use body techniques to release stored trauma, as well as help you befriend your inner critic.

If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out for a free, 15 min consultation!

You’ve likely done a lot of things “right”. From career to relationships, even past therapy – but does something feel off? Maybe you might feel disconnected, burned out, or like you’re performing a role rather than living your life. I specialize in working with men like you who are striving to reconcile their past, find meaning in their present, and create a more fulfilling future. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, perfectionism, life transitions, or substance issues, therapy can be a powerful space to get out of your head and reconnect with yourself.

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.
