I serve clients who are in distress and need someone to be with them on their journey, whether they are ready to change or simply considering it. Ideally, clients want to find solutions to their issues that fit their lives and values, and that are sustainable in their given circumstances. My goal is to help clients find these solutions by drawing on their own inner strengths.

Pornography addiction can have a significant impact on your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal and relational struggles that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media used to reduce stress and boredom is hard to stop even when it’s destroying your life and relationships

My guiding principle is to facilitate clients in attaining psychological well-being through personalized intervention strategies. This involves working closely with a select number of clients and providing treatment modalities that are adaptable to their demanding schedules. I advocate for clients to utilize their life experiences and individual strengths as tools for introspection, enabling them to address their challenges more effectively. Through this process, clients acquire novel skills and alternative perspectives, empowering them to overcome obstacles in their lives.

As James Baldwin famously said, "not everything that has been faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless faced", I also offer you the following poem: "When we feel safe, anything is possible. We become unstoppable. Because we have a firm ground to launch and a safe ground to land. We can then stand. Voice ourselves, show ourselves. Life becomes a dance."

I specialize in relationships. Does your mate cause you to suffer? Is your relationship one of intolerable conflict or quiet desperation? People with such suffering often rush to breakup or divorce. Don't. Back away slowly instead. In leaving, not only do you waste the chance to save this relationship but also the chance to know yourself better. If you rush, you will likely repeat these problems in the next relationship.

The clients I often work with seem to have a history of not finding a therapist who gets them and the way they see the world. They struggle with feeling understood and have lost hope that there is anybody out there who can actually help them better their lives. They know there is more to them, they just don’t know how to bring it out of them. Most people of the people I work with just want to feel understood, they want someone to validate how their lives have unfolded to get where they are now, and from that moment, their lives seem to start unfolding. They just needed someone to help them make sense of it all.

Relationships are as important to us as food and water. They can strengthen us, like a vitamin, or weaken us, like the flu. You are only as good in relationships as the relationships you have been in. As your therapist I can assist you in many ways. I can help you learn more about yourself, increase both self-compassion and compassion for others, and heal past trauma. Together, we can explore how to feel more connected to yourself, your values, and people you care about.

Many of us lead busy lives with little space to breathe, think, and make choices with clarity. We hold ourselves to unsustainable standards in our careers, relationships and as individuals. We move from day to day with anxious thoughts, or float numbly with disconnection and over-scheduling as a way to avoid pain. Often our expectations, goals and circumstances come at the expense of our own healthy well being.

My approach to therapy involves a balance between helping a client explore past experiences and identifying how these may be affecting them in the present. I often use culturally sensitive tools in my practice while working closely with my clients and work within an anti-oppressive and anti-racist framework. I work primarily from a client-centered model and my therapeutic approach is eclectic, which means I cater to the individual needs of my clients by incorporating elements and tools from various therapeutic approaches.

As a therapist, it is my aim to help my clients cultivate the best version of themselves. As we move through life, our experiences may have shifted how we see ourselves and the world around us causing distress within and perhaps between others. I believe that we can effect change by getting to know ourselves on an entirely different level. Holding compassion and empathy for our own struggles is paramount to building back the trust in ourselves which can bring upon more satisfaction in our life. I am passionate about helping my clients connect and understand these parts about themselves to cultivate more harmony, balance and trust.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
