I primarily work with individuals and couples who have highly stressful careers that are ready to do what's necessary to experience real and lasting change. Together we'll face what's felt too much, explore the impact and the meanings made of the past while building a future centered around freedom, fulfillment and joy.

I specialize in helping men navigate life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, career stress, and the pressure to meet expectations. For many men, seeking therapy isn't the first choice—it can feel unfamiliar or unnecessary. But that’s why it matters. Therapy is different from talking to friends. Friends mean well, but they bring their own biases. In therapy, the focus is all on you—a space to be honest without judgment and gain tools for real change.
I often see driven professionals in high-pressure environments. Many of my clients are men, trying therapy for the first time or continuing work they've already started. Clients generally come to see me to work through stress, anxiety (especially social anxiety), depression, life transitions and trauma. I'm also trained and passionate about working with the broader LGBTQ+ population.
My clients are ready to embrace transformation and change. They are motivated to explore new possibilities, overcome obstacles, and unlock their potential for growth. I support individuals seeking help with anxiety, ADHD/ADD, bipolar, mood challenges, depression, panic disorder, goal setting, procrastination, and relationship/intimacy challenges. Together, we embark on a journey of empowerment, paving the way for positive and meaningful change in their lives.
I see many clients who feel stuck and unable to alter their life in a way that reflects their values, causing them to feel sad, on edge, or numb. They are suffering a great deal, and often their needs seem unclear. This can look like constant worrying, dreading the future, or being caught up in the past. I use a frank and kind style to empower clients to find meaning and hope as they navigate the complicated, often oppressive systems of our world.
Trauma can impact your ability to trust yourself, relationships, individuals, and your general ability to function. Whether you're having panic attacks, or struggling with trusting your intuition, we can develop resources to nourish you, identify triggers, and get you to a place of LIVING. I have experience and enjoy working with diverse cultural backgrounds, gender identities, from adolescents to seniors, whether in crisis, or looking to better self regulate on a consistent basis.

Our world is filled with so many distractions, worries, fears, and means of disconnection, it can be easy to get off track from the life you are meant for and feel disconnected from yourself and the world. Feeling depressed, anxious, or experiencing imposter syndrome, burnout, or feelings of low self-worth? I believe in every person's inherent right and capacity to live a life of joy and authenticity, and I'd love to support you in rediscovering yourself and reclaiming your life!
You're a people-pleaser, late-bloomer, self-explorer, or someone who values your inner life and wants to dive deeper. Adults who are creative, curious, and compassionate but struggle to apply those strengths to themselves consider me a good fit, as do those who crave relationships but find them to be more trouble than they're worth.
You might be seeking therapy for support with a specific challenge or simply for a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions, fears, and struggles. My goal is to create an environment where compassionate curiosity thrives, free of judgment. I deeply respect each individual's personal journey and am committed to working with you to discover greater peace and fulfillment by exploring and nurturing your unique strengths and abilities.

Finding meaning in life, healing, becoming whole again, & thriving (not just surviving) are examples of potential goals for our time together. Within that framework, we can customize our work to meet and embrace your unique personality & needs. A couple of meaningful quotes: “You are not meant for crawling. So don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly." ~ Jalal al-Din Rumi (13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic) “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” ~ Carl Jung

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Do you find yourself feeling different emotions and not knowing why? Are you struggling with issues in your relationships? Often we may find ourselves playing out the same, unhelpful patterns in different areas of our lives. I strive to bring light into these areas and help you come to a better understanding of yourself. I also work with you to explore changes that will help you to live your authentic life and bring you into alignment with your truest self.

The individuals and couples I see are usually creative folks from a multitude of cultural backgrounds. I welcome all genders, races, sexual orientations, and/or relationship styles. Most are looking for greater self-actualization, and many struggle with anxiety, quality of relationships, intimacy, depression, history of trauma, familial conflict, creativity, life transitions, and career issues. I also enjoy working with parent/child dyads, siblings, even friends who seek help in relationship.
In this increasingly “good vibes only” culture, do you feel that you need to hide parts of yourself in order to fit in or be included in the group? Do you feel like you’re either too much or not enough? Like you’re the black sheep in your family or with your friends? You may have been thrown into an adult role as a child, having to emotionally care for your parent or caregiver, at the expense of your own emotional development, growth, or even safety. If this sounds familiar, there is hope.
I specialize in working with adults, teens, adolescents, women and LGBTQIA+ clients. I also work with individuals in all life stages, families and couples. I have several years of experience working with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and childhood abuse/trauma.
