With over 15 years of experience helping individuals, couples, families, and youth, even those skeptical about therapy. I'm a long-time group facilitator and draw from a variety of approaches. While I incorporate Family Systems Theory, Transformative Couples Therapy, and Mindfulness, since 2016, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) has truly become my clinical home. I wholeheartedly believe in the radical power of emotional healing that unfolds when people feel safe enough to shed their masks and truly feel. If there's one overarching theme in my work, it's this: healing happens in connection, not in isolation.
Sessions are experiential, offering a transformative therapeutic approach. I guide you in processing emotions for personal growth, explore relational dynamics for improved awareness and healthy boundaries, challenge thought patterns for healthier cognitive responses, and develop present-moment awareness through mindful self-reflection for emotional balance.
Our therapeutic passion stems from lived experiences with anxiety, burnout, life transitions, depression, relationship struggles, and general dissatisfaction. Through my own self-discovery, I learned one very important truth, to stop doing everything alone.

The Unabashed Man
Looking for a safe space to explore your inner world without shame or judgment? This group offers just that. It's a closed online community for men who want to practice emotional honesty and grow through shared strength. We believe challenges aren't just "internal" problems; they're shaped by our relationships, past and present. This group is an invitation to explore both what's happening inside you and how you show up with others. Step into courageous growth, connect with like-minded men, and discover what it truly means to be your authentic self. You don't have to struggle alone.
