Immediate openings for telehealth! You've been holding it together for a long time. It's exhausting — and you know something has to change. I work with men, veterans, and LGBTQ+ individuals ready to go beyond coping and do the real work of healing. If you're ready for therapy that's honest, deep, and judgment-free — I'm ready for you. Get to know me better by watching the video clip below!

I specialize in helping men, veterans, and LGBTQ+ individuals actually heal — not just manage. Through a psychodynamic and relational approach, we'll explore how your past shapes your present, understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and build something different — together. The relationship between us isn't just a backdrop to therapy. It's the work.

Taking this step — even just reading this — takes courage, especially if you've never done this before. That exhaustion you're feeling makes complete sense. You've been carrying something heavy, mostly alone, probably for a long time. Therapy isn't about being broken or fixed. It's about finally having a space that's entirely yours. You deserve that!
