I am in-network for Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Quest Behavioral Health.
My ideal client is ready to do the work, not because they have all the answers, but because they’re willing to be open, curious, and collaborative in this process. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, but they also know something has to change. They’re not looking for quick fixes, they’re looking for honest insight, practical tools, and a space where they can better understand themselves.

I am in-network for Aetna and Cigna, but can also provide a superbill for out-of-network clients for insurance reimbursement.
Let’s be real — asking for help isn’t easy, especially when you’ve been taught to “man up,” keep it together, or go it alone. Whether you're feeling stuck, stressed, angry, numb, or just not yourself, I’m here to help you figure things out — without judgment, lectures, or fluff.
I specialize in working with men who are navigating pressure, relationships, fatherhood, trauma, identity, anger, or that quiet feeling of not being good enough. You don’t have to have a crisis to come to therapy — sometimes it’s just about not wanting to feel this way anymore.
