As a psychologist specializing in working with men, I understand the unique challenges men face today, from managing stress and relationships to finding purpose and balance in life. My approach integrates traditional psychological techniques with a focus on personal spirituality, helping you explore deeper meaning and alignment in your life. Together, we’ll create a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to grow and develop tools to navigate life’s complexities. Whether you seek clarity, healing, or a renewed sense of direction, I’m here to guide and empower you.
I work with men from all walks of life, tailoring each session to your unique needs. My practice blends evidence-based techniques with mindfulness and spiritual exploration, fostering growth and self-discovery. I’m able to help men harness the power of their intellect while deepening the connecting to their heart to create lasting, meaningful changes.
I create a warm, genuine space where you feel heard and supported. Your unique experiences matter; I work with you to make therapy meaningful and effective. As a queer ally and advocate for social justice I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment for men of all cultures, identities, and backgrounds to feel valued. Please reach out with any questions!

Each person will get a unique combination of the approaches I use. Whereas one person might prefer the structure of worksheets from ACT/CBT, another may benefit more from mindfulness and somatic exercises, or the more traditional process of talking through situations to gain clarity or resolution. I try to adjust to the needs of each client to find the most impactful strategy for their needs.
