Do you struggle with feeling overwhelmed, stuck, alone or misunderstood? Do you often feel guilty, ashamed, frustrated or self-critical when life doesn’t work out as you hoped it would? Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, stressed and uncertain about how to manage their relationships, careers and emotional well-being. Pushing away our needs and not taking time to invest in our mental health can lead to long-term complications for our mind and body as we age. This is why my work is rooted in learning about your unique story, empowering you to rediscover your confidence and providing effective tools for managing stress.
I treat issues related to anxiety, ADHD, autism, depression, childhood trauma and gay male identity. I also support navigating relational/family conflict, grief/loss and career stressors. No matter your reason for seeking therapy, I strive to help clients ignite personal growth through insight, self-compassion and coping strategies.
As a therapist I am direct yet empathic and nonjudgmental. I am also supportive and I will encourage you to stretch your mind, take risks and grow. Feeling connected to a therapist is one of the highest predictors of success in therapy—which is why I offer a free introductory phone consultation. I am available for in-person or telehealth appointments.
