If you're in a difficult life transition, experiencing relationship problems or feeling uncertain and overwhelmed, you don't have to go through it alone. Finding a therapist that feels like a good fit is an important first step. I work with young adults and adults in exploring their experiences, identifying longstanding patterns, clarifying goals and encouraging positive changes.

If you're interested in a seasoned therapist who’s sensitive and warmly engaging yet respectfully challenging, who has long-successfully addressed concerns like anxiety, depression, anger, compulsions, romance, sexuality and creative blocks, then I invite you to check out how I may be able to help solve your problems in ways that also result in more durable change and substantive healing by creatively getting to the roots of your issues and difficult feelings in a manner that honors your experience as sacred. Let's address your problem while transforming your struggles into a hero’s journey to increasing empowerment and capability!

I am a Counseling Psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist with a special interest in helping artists, writers, actors, musicians and creative spirits of all types achieve their full potential. I am also interested in working with men around issues of fatherhood, masculinity, and relationships. I have completed specialized training working with college, medical, and professional students (UCLA and USC Health Science Campus), as well as veterans (Minneapolis and Milwaukee VA).

Even the hardiest hero needs a guide. Struggles with mental health often leave us feeling alone and hopeless. We'll often wander searching for help and healing. That journey doesn't need to be walked alone. Let me join you along that journey of discovery to help you find that inner strength and tap into the wisdom of your body to level up. I use a variety of techniques to help you hone the magic that is within you. I use a combination of EMDR, DBT, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to unleash your creative strength to help you on that journey to be your best you.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and affirming. I also often use humor. I believe that so much of our suffering is rooted in feeling alone and disconnected. We feel far away from important parts of ourselves and from people we love. I see therapy as a place where we can be curious together, where we seek reconnection with ourselves and others, and where we practice self-compassion as a way through emotional pain. I am interested in working with folks who are curious about themselves, who are interested in learning how to live with themselves and others with more ease, and who want more agency and freedom.
