About My Clients
I specialize in helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, and OCD using evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to your unique goals, offering tools to help you feel confident and in control of your life. As a private-pay therapist, I provide a premium, personalized experience for clients seeking transformative results in a supportive, collaborative environment.
My Background and Approach
I am a Harvard-trained Clinical/Health Psychologist specializing in helping adults make lasting changes using the shortest number of sessions possible. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address cognitive and behavioral patterns driving depression, anxiety, and OCD. However, I also integrate approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to ensure treatment is comprehensive, supportive, and affirming. While CBT offers powerful tools to create change, I understand it can feel invalidating for some, as it focuses heavily on thoughts. By incorporating DBT, I also address the impact of invalidating environments and other external factors contributing to your challenges. This balance ensures clients experience therapy as both appropriately challenging and deeply supportive.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My personal philosophy is that many of us are navigating a world that was not built for us and few people are privileged in all aspects. Most of us possess some characteristic or identity that is not fully embraced or is invalidated by our environment. I realized this with my own personal identity as a gay Black male. This typically can result in negative thoughts and behaviors that only work to maintain our distress. What the world doesn't teach us is that these identities are also a strength. As such, I seek to provide a validating and affirming environment in which people can discuss their issues and work towards their therapy goals.
