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!

I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions. Veterans and first responders are welcome! Treatment typically involves exploring your history, understanding patterns, and building insight through our relationship. You can expect to feel less stuck, more self-aware, and more connected — to yourself and the people who matter most.
