I very much value my work as a therapist and hope to create a safe emotional space for clients. I have the most experience working with males with emotional and intimacy issues, and if I had to pick a specialty, that would be it. I have continuously enjoyed breaking long standing stereotypes about what exactly therapy is and who it is for.
Therapy is an opportunity for you to explore yourself more deeply, gain self-awareness, break patterns in your life that are standing in your way, understand your pain, and have someone with you through that process. I hope to help clients feel empowered in their own life.
I value depth work that goes at your pace. There's so much beauty in the uniqueness that my clients bring, and I love meeting them exactly where they are at.
