We all have been shaped by our past experiences but sometimes we don’t know how to move forward. We don’t want to be “stuck in the past,” but we also know we can’t “avoid” our history. I have extensive experience in helping people process their lived experiences, understand how their relationships with themselves and others affects who they are, and approach anxiety, trauma, grief and loss in a manner that gives space for healing.

I believe that our social and environmental surroundings and supports determine our wellbeing more than our "hardwiring." Everything happens within specific contexts. I adapt my approach to the needs of the person in front of me, though I specialize in integrating breath- and bodywork, emotional processing, and person-centered, values-driven care. My role is to hold space, walk alongside you on your journey, and to offer opportunities for self-discovery. My goal is to empower you to build your own path. I work with clients across all ages and identities, and I strive to remain culturally humble in every interaction.

Life’s stressors can quietly wear us down, affecting our mood, health, and relationships - sometimes leaving us anxious, shut down, or disconnected. The ways we respond to stress are not random; they are largely shaped by early childhood experiences, which influence how we cope with challenges throughout our lives. Gaining insight into how these experiences shape us, and exploring the root causes of our behaviors, "why we do what we do," are critical steps in strengthening our ability to manage stress, break old cycles, and ultimately feel better.

After 25 years in the corporate world, choosing to become a therapist has been one of the most meaningful shifts in my life. I approach this work the same way I try to show up everywhere else: direct, steady, genuine, and willing to sit in the real parts of people’s lives. Opening up about what’s bothering you can feel awkward, especially when it involves the things you believe you should already know how to handle. I’ll be honest about what can change and what may need some reframing. We will work through that together. My experience as a father, partner, colleague, and person shapes the way I help clients navigate their own lives.

My view of people was shaped in childhood by two cultural touchstones: Fred Rogers and the album Free to Be, You and Me. Helping people work through difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, and life’s many stressors begins with reconnecting them to their inherent worth. I see my role as coming alongside clients and supporting them as they move forward with greater self-compassion and resilience. As clients heal from current challenges, they often develop the flexibility and insight needed to reduce future suffering related to depression, anxiety, bipolar conditions, and trauma.

Therapy isn't about having all the answers, it's about building the skills and mindset to face what's hard.

My approach is highly collaborative: you're the expert on your own life, and my job is to bring evidence-based tools you can actually use in real-time when things get difficult. Together, we build emotional regulation skills, work toward greater self-awareness, and develop the resilience to handle whatever life brings next.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
