You may feel invalidated by others, overwhelmed by responsibilities, or invisible in your closest relationships. You’ve tried to push through, but it’s exhausting when no one truly sees how hard you’re working just to hold things together.
In our work together, we’ll uncover root causes, strengthen self-trust, and create practical, brain-based strategies for lasting change. My approach integrates neuroscience, trauma-informed care, DBT, and CBT to restore balance, focus, and resilience. I’m intentional about providing culturally responsive, affirming care for men, POC, survivors of childhood trauma, BPD, PD, and LGBTQ+ clients.

People that sit with me often ask some version of: Why does this keep happening? Why am I still having the same fight, feeling the same disconnect, or ending up in the same place again? Sometimes it looks like conflict. Sometimes it looks like shutting down, frustration, loneliness, or feeling misunderstood in relationships that matter to you. It can be parenting and realizing you’re reacting in ways you swore you wouldn’t. Sometimes it’s just the exhaustion of overthinking everything and not knowing why it still feels this hard.

You wake up already tired, moving through your days on autopilot while pressure keeps
stacking up. Work demands more than it gives back, and relationships feel strained or distant. You notice yourself snapping, shutting down, or feeling disconnected from the man you used to be. Life transitions, repeated setbacks, and long-standing patterns have left you feeling boxed in, unsure how things drifted this far off course. You’re stuck in a crap sandwich, and you need a way out – STAT. Yet every attempt to fix it falls short. It’s not lack of effort – you just need to know how to reset so you can find a sense of balance and direction.

I believe that in life, we all want to be the very best versions of ourselves. However, along the journey of life’s path we often find ourselves off course. Sometimes, it’s due to reasons we contribute to. Sometimes, it is due to outside influences. Sometimes, it is due to reasons we have no control over. I believe therapy is the process of working with an individual, to help put them back on this path and work towards the best version of themselves. In our daily lives, we are faced with challenges; however, it is the way in which we respond to those challenges that helps us find success in our own mental health.

My ideal client is an adult who has experienced complex or relational trauma, such as childhood adversity, adoption or foster care, intimate partner violence, or an emotionally unsafe upbringing. They may also be navigating anxiety, depression, or substance use as coping strategies. Though often high functioning outwardly, they feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected inside. They seek a safe, trauma-informed space to build emotional regulation, self-compassion, sustainable recovery, and healthier relationships, ultimately finding relief from survival mode and building a grounded, meaningful life.

You may be experiencing a sense of disconnection due to chronic stress or being in constant survival mode. Unacknowledged or unprocessed experiences with trauma, injustice, grief, loss, and neglect, can lead to emotional, mental, and physical overwhelm. This can show up as anxiety, depression, fatigue, dysregulation, burnout, numbing, people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, hyper-independence, procrastination, and negative self-talk. Life doesn't have to feel this way. Together, we will work toward cultivating a deeper sense of safety, connection, and resilience, helping you feel more grounded in mind and body.

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
