If you're feeling the weight of this life stage—career pressure, relationship challenges, or just a nagging sense that something's off—you're in the right place. Maybe it's constant overthinking, the pressure to have it all figured out, or just feeling stuck despite doing everything "right." I work with men and women in their 30s and 40s who are ready to make sense of what they're experiencing and move forward with more clarity and confidence.
In our sessions, you can expect a mix of insight and practicality. My approach is relational at its core—built on trust, humor, and dialog—and informed by evidence-based methods. Whether we’re working through self-criticism, anxiety, or transition, the goal is to help you develop perspective and move through challenges with greater steadiness and confidence.
If you’ve been scrolling therapist directories, wondering where to start, or feeling unsure how therapy might help you—reach out to schedule Free 30-minute Video Consultation (you'll receive a response within 24 hours). I offer in-person therapy at my office in Center City Philadelphia, and teletherapy to clients in PA, NJ, DC, MD, VA & WA.

I work with adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s—particularly men—navigating anxiety, depression, career stress, and transitions. My approach combines evidence-based methods with a relational style built on trust. Most clients come in feeling stuck or overwhelmed and leave with actual clarity about what to change and how to do it.

Above all else, I take a humanistic approach to therapy; relying on a strong relationship and clients' own instincts to manage distress and find solutions. When needed, of course, my role is to supplement the client's resources with psychological insights and interventions. I do so by drawing on a variety of modalities, including CBT, Emotion-focused therapy, ACT, pos psych. and IFS, among others.
