Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trapped in overthinking can make it difficult to feel confident, present, or in control of your life. Anxiety, stress, and indecision often spill into relationships, work, and daily functioning, leaving you drained and disconnected. I work with adults who want practical, evidence-based therapy to better understand themselves, manage anxiety, and make meaningful change. As a clinical psychologist, my approach is thoughtful, active, and tailored to your needs. Together, we will work to identify the patterns keeping you stuck and build greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust.

I work with high-performing men struggling with burnout, perfectionism, stress, and relationship challenges. Many clients appear successful on the outside but feel mentally exhausted, emotionally disconnected, or unable to slow their minds down. My approach is practical, thoughtful, and grounded in mindfulness, helping clients feel calmer, clearer, and more connected.

I work with thoughtful, high-achieving adults using an approach that blends psychodynamic depth therapy with ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and Buddhist-informed psychology. The aim is not only symptom relief, but a more fundamental shift in how you understand yourself, loosen entrenched patterns, and live with greater clarity, freedom, and emotional steadiness.
