As the world has changed, many of us have come to crossroads in our lives. When in isolation we have been forced to look closely at the relationships we value, the activities we enjoy, and what we wish to change. In the age of social media, the culture of comparison has dominated our inner psyches and altered our abilities to obtain lasting happiness. In our work together, I want to provide you with a warm, thoughtful, socioculturally-attuned, and collaborative environment. Here, we can explore your individual needs, the belief systems you hold, and your hopes for the future.

If at this moment you find yourself seeking guidance but are unsure of where to turn, first know that these are perfectly natural uncertainties to have around finding the help you seek. In fact, these questions demonstrate your resilience and awareness - you've still got your wits about you! My therapeutic practice is dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families grappling with an array of challenges including depression, isolation, anxiety, trauma, relational conflicts, and existential unease.
I am gathering an interest list to start a grief support group for fathers whose partners have died. You might find it virtually impossible to run your household and go on with "normal life," while grieving the death of your partner/spouse - the "dual track," grieving while raising children. Come find support with others in similar situations who "get it," not to wallow but to find time and space to feel the pain of loss, address the demands of going on, and share from your hearts about what rebuilding from here will look like.

Growing up, I have realized that there is a lack of communication, representation, and awareness of the importance of mental health in many Middle-Eastern, Latinx, and Asian households. This leads to many individuals in those cultures becoming oppressed throughout their whole life and experiencing many untreated phases of depression and anxiety without having the opportunity to be heard.
A combination of support, sharing and bodymind practices for those living with chronic illness of all forms. Meets weekly online only. Time varies with each group; call or email for details and initial consultation.

Seeking out therapy is a very heroic action in and of itself, perhaps your first proactive step into redefining your sense of self, creating a new life story, and taking a leap into the direction of self-care. If you are reading this, you may be in a state of uncertainty, or perhaps connected more deeply than you would like to be to the effects of depression, anxiety, or your daily life situations. Maybe, you are wrestling in a relationship with someone you love; perhaps, finding the words to communicate who you are and how you feel may seem unattainable and challenging at best.

This group will provide a safe space for gay men to heal from trauma. Unfortunately, gay men are more likely to experience trauma than straight men. And, it's often difficult for gay men to find a space to begin to unpack their traumatic experiences. That's what you'll experience in this group: a safe environment to recover from trauma. In fact, many folks find that the healing process is quicker in a group setting, rather than traditional individual therapy. Interested to learn more?

Being a gay man in today’s society isn’t easy. Everyone seems to have money, success, good looks and as much sex as they want. If you’re like most clients I work with, you’ve probably spent most of your life feeling shame. Your culture, your community, and maybe even your family, told you you weren’t good enough. By now you have probably built a successful life. But despite the external success and validation, you still don’t feel good enough. Small rejections may trigger you. You frequently compare yourself to others. You lack confidence in your sex life. Or maybe you find yourself doing too many party drugs.

Exploring your life in partnership with a dedicated therapist can be a remarkable gift to yourself. I can help you gain insight into unhelpful patterns and difficulties in your life, and support you in realizing your hopes and goals. I view symptoms not merely as problems that need to be “fixed”; instead I seek to help you uncover their deeper causes. Problems then become opportunities for renewal and positive change. I believe a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the foundation of a successful therapeutic outcome. My goal is to provide a safe and collaborative environment in which lasting change and healing become possible.
For APCC, ASW, AMFT, & R-DMTs: Group supervision is a place where you can meet with individuals who offer you unique perspectives, get you out of your own head, and share resources. Collaborate with colleagues and get grounded in your field, tease apart countertransference issues, get support on difficult cases, and make it affordable because you’re sharing the cost of the supervision hours. It is so great to receive support and feedback from a group of clinicians who are also LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-oppressive, and anti-racist. All while building a professional network.
