Do you find yourself struggling to connect with others? Do you find that anxiety, fear of judgement from others or symptoms of ADHD prevents you from meeting new people, creating deeper connections with acquaintances, finding a romantic partner, speaking your mind or attending social events altogether? Is it hard to show your real self in social situations or at work, so you "mask" or hide that part of yourself, because you find it difficult to accept who you are and criticize yourself often? Well, this doesn't have to be your experience forever.

I am here to help someone who is thinking about making a change, whether they’re feeling stuck in the past or overwhelmed by something in the present. They may not know exactly what they need, but they’re open to exploring what’s not working and why. They could even be unsure or skeptical about therapy itself, but feel like they need to do "something". They’re looking for help that’s grounded in research, led by a professional who can help them clarify their goals, understand what’s getting in the way, and offer support and structure as they work toward something better.

I fundamentally believe that healing happens in relationships where we feel safe, supported, and seen. To this end, I strive to cultivate a warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental relationship with my clients. Therapy will look different for everyone, but I will seek to partner with you to explore difficult past experiences and current challenges in living as a way to better understand what's working and what's not. I will work to help you slow down and tune into the present moment to increase your ability to cope, while also making sense of the ways your developmental context as well as systems of oppression may have impacted you.

Stories have always fascinated me. They have the power to move us emotionally, to educate and instruct, to entertain us, and to cultivate true compassion and empathy through the act of sharing a story with another. They are also a powerful vehicle for how we perceive, interpret, define and live our lives, yet sometimes it can be easy to forget that we can be the authors of our story, not just a character proceeding along some previously determined narrative.

During life, you may feel sad, stressed, anxious, and you may repeat behavior patterns or establish unhealthy relationships. If you are going through something like this, going to therapy is the best opportunity for you to improve all that you believe is necessary. From my point of view, it is only through meeting with another human being that you can heal and be able to make transcendental changes. That is why within the therapy framework, I offer to create, to find, explore, and experiment with a unique space for each patient that will allow them to change and achieve personal and emotional growth.

Also, as a male-identified therapist who has had his own struggles finding a therapist with my identity, I love working with men struggling with issues like trauma, anger, depression, and anxiety.
Do you love your partner but feel like you struggle to communicate with them? Like you are always doing something wrong and just can’t seem to get on the same page? Do you want desperately to get that connection back that you had at the beginning of your relationship, but instead you find yourself slogging your way through constant conflict or walking on eggshells to avoid another argument? Do you feel insecure in your relationships or wonder if you could be responding to challenges in a better way?
