I believe that the Future is Full of Hope and I provide person-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused care as you process your past, embrace your present, and step into your future.
I work with creatives, professionals, and men. On New York State of Mind, Nas sings, "I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death.” Maybe you too aim for excellence, work hard, and crush goals. But you haven’t found a work-life balance, or your current role is smaller than your aspirations. Or you relate to Propaganda's line “I’m not the artist I’m the canvas” and you create and inspire others through art, music, design, etc. But you are not inspired in daily life. It’s hard to translate that creative process to your personal habits, relationships, coping skills and day to day living.

My approach to creating a therapeutic bond is person-centered and strength-based.
During any stage of life we are faced with challenges of many kinds. And these trials can keep anyone in the dark, not realizing that hope can be found. If you're someone who is trying to figure out who you are in the world, trying to find their way, or who just needs a solid connection with a partner; if you recognize a problem and a longing for change or struggling with overwhelming thoughts and emotions that keep you pushed away, leaving you in the dark, then you’re not alone and I’m here to help.

I take a strength-based approach to counseling that focuses on your positive attributes and abilities.
Have you ever wondered “Why does life always seem to be so difficult? Why can’t I figure this out? What am I doing this all for?” If you are like the millions of people who ask these same questions, then you are in the right place. It could be that you have suffered a terrible loss, have ongoing anxiety, experience low energy or motivation, feel isolated or disconnected, or just having difficulty coping with everyday stressors and relationships. These feelings and experiences are very common and I would like to use my training, education, and experience to help you work through them.
