About My Clients

Is your life feeling like an unsolvable puzzle? Are you struggling to find the answers you're looking for? Whether I’m working with individuals or couples, I bring a disarming, yet firm, grounded presence to support you through challenges with relationships and attachment, men’s mental health, mixed-race identity, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. From the start, we will work at your pace to understand your lived experience and identify the core issues getting in your way.

How I Can Help You

Using a systemic and integrative approach, I naturally gravitate towards exploring the important life experiences and relationships that inform how you navigate your troubles, whatever they may be. My goal is simple: to help you break free from unhelpful and patterns and create space for a more emotionally fulfilling life. Starting with the first session, I will be listening for common themes, patterns, and relational dynamics so that we can begin to understand how your unique past impacts your unique present.

Why I Became a Therapist

From a young age, I have had a deep curiosity for what makes people tick. Just as an ice cube needs the right time and temperature to thaw, the same holds true for my clients. I believe that a safe, empathic, and trusting therapeutic relationship can provide the necessary conditions for you to transform into the person you wish to be. It’s no surprise that therapy can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, but it can also be an incredibly thrilling process of discovery, growth, and acceptance. If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation where we can further discuss your needs. I look forward to hearing from you.
