About My Clients

There’s been some comfort in keeping everything held together, in avoiding talking about what’s happened and a part of you that knows that you need to deal with it at some point. You’re tired of shallow relationships and sexual hangups. While your life looks great on paper, you are baffled why you feel so unsatisfied. You’re wondering what you can do to move past your past, stop sitting on the sidelines, and start living. You feel stuck knowing you need to heal stuff but also not knowing how to.

My Background and Approach

Sessions will provide you with the space to be understood and heard. You'll express your thoughts, feelings, and figure things out about yourself. I will ask questions and invite you to look at things from different angles.It's important to me to check in on your progress as we go and ensure that the process is collaborative. There isn't a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns. I am a warm, engaged and consistent therapist who brings east coast dependability to west coast fluidity to sessions. People often tell me that they can let their guard down around me and I help put them at ease.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I had a rough childhood and know what it's like to still be affected by it in adulthood. Life came with confusion, uncertainty, and pain. It was through healing from my difficult beginning that I was able to make sense of my experience, process unmet needs and emotions, as well as rectify them.Today, I recognize just how pivotal therapy helped me live my life with more aliveness and clarity. And I’m grateful to now be able to help others heal too.The most rewarding thing about being a therapist is helping others access a deeper relationship with themself. -I believe that there needs to be more support for men who have experienced sexual abuse. -I believe that in our society men aren’t allowed to be vulnerable, express their emotions, or ask for help, and that’s not ok. -I believe that survivors are not what happened to them. -I believe that emotions heal when they are witnessed and validated. -I believe that change is possible when you allow yourself the space to do the work.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
