I predominantly work with men and couples. The men I see are often going through a stressful change in their relationships, whether it's a new baby, a new family crisis, a new job, or a new loss. These men are seeking to deal with things differently than how they were brought up to deal with them. Maybe they want to really talk instead of shutting down, to be more available as parents or partners; maybe they want to feel more comfortable expressing themselves; they want to weather the conflicts of life, and stay calm while doing so. For a litany of reasons, this is hard to achieve just by wanting to!

I specialize in working with individuals and couples on topics that do not always get the focused attention they deserve: relationship dynamics, men and men’s issues, sex and sexual harm, and academic stressors. I have also worked with a number of people seeing a therapist for the first time.
Working with clients on these topics involves exploring issues like communication breakdown, cycles of criticism and/or feeling ignored, grief and loss, emotional and physical intimacy, processing sexual harm, professional burnout, and stress management.

Many of us find ourselves stuck in the same patterns that seem to replay over and over again in our relationships. We have the same arguments or turn to the same habits time after time. Others may be looking to increase the intimacy and connection in our relationships. Many of the clients and couples I work with are ready to break out of this cycle and find healing for themselves and their relationships. As a Level 1 IFS therapist, I believe that addressing the pain and hurt behind these patterns, cycles, and habits will create the most transformative changes in your life.

I work with individuals and couples navigating chronic illness, pain, loss, identity shifts, and life transitions - experiences that reshape how you see yourself, relate to others, and feel in your body. You may experience yourself pulling away from loved ones, overextending to hold things together, or feeling less sure about who you are. In relationships, this can show up as shutting down, overfunctioning, or getting caught in pursue–withdraw cycles that leave you both feeling alone. Together, we make sense of these patterns, what they’ve protected, what you need, and ways to shift toward greater connection, clarity, and calm.

Many people are simply seeking space to speak their truth, chart a path forward, and begin taking steps. My goal is to help adolescents and young adults thrive amidst stress, uncertainty, losses, and challenging transitions. Much of my clinical work involves supporting young Black leaders (highly involved teens, community organizers, professional managers, etc.) seeking respite to heal and just be - be seen, heard, and understood beyond the public gaze. Sometimes, clients come to counseling not knowing exactly what they want, but they feel like they want something different. That's a good place to start.

Something is not working, and you can feel it. The anxiety that used to come and go has become a constant companion. The trauma you thought you had moved past still shows up in your relationships, your body, and your ability to be present. You are tired of just getting through each day, managing symptoms while something deeper remains unaddressed. Maybe you have tried therapy before and it helped on the surface but never reached the root of what is really going on. You are ready for something different, something grounded in real science and tailored to how your brain actually works.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
