To me, therapy is a warm, comfortable space we build together; it’s an hour outside of your everyday life, a shared place we can process whatever needs to be processed from the safety of. Care, compassion, non-judgement, and a genuine therapeutic relationship are the foundations of our work together and are my main priorities. My focus is always holistic: we have to look at every layer - from the cues your body and nervous system are giving you to the systemic messages surrounding you - to reach not just the bandaids but the deeper roots of distress and, ultimately, growth. I work from an actively affirming and anti-oppressive lens.

New clients welcome! You might be feeling disconnected, like there are too many things out of your control right now, or are overwhelmed. Maybe you're feeling stuck, unable to break out of patterns that are no longer working for you. If this is you, please take comfort in knowing change is possible. Through therapy, I can help you reconnect to yourself. Maybe the tenseness in your shoulders is telling you that you’re stressed, or the stomach ache you’ve been having is telling you that something isn't right. Together we can connect your mind and body to understand what's going on, identify what you need, and create change.

Currently Accepting New Clients! I want more for you than managing your anxiety, overcoming grief, or lifting yourself out of depression. I want your life to be bursting with joy. I want you to feel that you are contributing to make this world a better place. I want you to know the joys of an intimate relationship, and either find someone, or encourage the one you are with, to grow along with you and build a better life together. I want you to feel confident and know your values and be able to stand for them against the world.

We all confront difficult challenges in life. We all go through times when our deepest fears and insecurities surface and consume our thoughts and actions, while our strengths and values fade out of focus and out of reach. We may be flooded with unwanted and worrisome thoughts; experience intense negative emotions; feel lonely and isolated from others, become increasingly unmotivated and unproductive; and develop difficulties sleeping, concentrating, and finding fulfillment in life. If you are going through a period of suffering, this is part of what makes you human.

We are not broken, just stuck. Sometimes the way we cope with emotional wounds, anxieties, and fears may in fact be detrimental to us, leaving us trapped by the same patterns in life. I depart from an attachment and trauma-informed perspective and place an emphasis on emotional regulation and experiential integration.

You? You're probably awestruck by the beauty of this world but also heart-broken by the cruelty of some of the people in it, and enraged at the injustice. Maybe you have unimaginably intense emotions that you struggle to surf, a quick mind but difficulties connecting with others, creative impulses you can't quite express (or not as fluidly as you used to), or are in a relationship where one of you is a POC and the other isn't and you're just trying to make your crazy love work. You might be a healthcare provider needing to replenish your own well, or a therapist seeking an empowering clinical supervisor.

Disconnected. Broken. Hopeless. Powerless. Stuck. Many men tell me this is how they feel in our first session. Taking the first step to make change in your life and accept support can sometimes feel the most challenging and overwhelming. As a male therapist, I have learned that working with men requires a focus on practical solutions, a safe and comfortable environment, a therapist who understands the unique personal and societal challenges men face, an emphasis on self-compassion and self-acceptance, and a willingness to address underlying issues.
