Do you take pride in being there for others, but end up putting yourself last? You often feel lonely and worry about being a burden, even to the people you’re closest to. You’re grateful for what you have in life, but you feel like something needs to change in order to really enjoy it. If this resonates with you, I can confidently tell you that it does not have to stay this way. In therapy together, we will create a safe space that will unlock greater self-acceptance and peace.

Are you tired of feeling like you're merely surviving rather than thriving? Perhaps, on the surface, you appear to have it all together, but internally, you feel like you're falling apart. You've dedicated yourself to work and relationships, yet a sense of inadequacy persists. Do you sometimes feel stressed, exhausted, unfulfilled, or disconnected? I aim to provide a sanctuary for you to explore your experiences, emotions, and parts of yourself without judgment.
Anxious or painful sex impacts more than just sex. It keeps you from having the relationship connection and intimacy you truly desire. When date nights are on the calendar, instead of feeling excited, you have dread and hope it doesn’t end in disappointment or a fight. It also affects more than just dating. Living a passion-filled life becomes a challenge when sexual confidence feels so far out of reach. You know you need answers but have no idea where to look.
I see many people who are overwhelmed with their day-to-day life, and often because of this, their important relationships have begun to slip away from them. They long for close, grounded relationships that enable them to experience more of the best parts of life.
I love working with people who have complex, complicated pasts. We are indeed shaped by all that has happened to us and, when we understand our past, we can choose how we want to move forward. I also love supporting people with a big vision for the future. So often, life changing events propel us to help others. As long as we can cope with the uncertainty and self-doubt that too often accompany these big ideas, we can make a big impact on the world.
My clients are ready for change. They are ready to take action to stop the ruminations, catastrophic thinking, and change the limited beliefs that have hindered them for too long. Their bodies have been burdened by it, often carrying tension and unexplained pains. Their relationships have been negatively impacted by it, including the most crucial one with themselves. They want to discard harmful old patterns, have more agency, and reach for their joys rather than fleeing from fears.

Is your desire for sex low or non-existent? Or, are you compulsively seeking sex to the detriment of your career, health and relationships? I successfully treat men, women and couples who struggle with a variety of sex-related issues including low libido, painful intercourse, open/poly relationships erectile dysfunction, vulvadynia/vaginismus as well as sexual inexperience.
I have experience helping adults, adolescents and couples who are coping with anxiety, depression, illness, loss, life transitions including gender and sexual identity, substance abuse, relationship concerns including non-monogamy, negative body image, menopause, and the particular challenges faced by those working in the creative fields.
Feeling like you don’t fit in is stressful, isolating, and leads to fatigue. You’re left trying to figure out what to do next with very little support to guide you. Our society has rigid expectations that we can't help but internalize. As a cis gay man, I understand how isolating and frustrating this can be. I approach therapy with a warm, curious, and empathic style. You deserve to be understood and have deeper clarity.
I help ambitious professionals who feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. They feel like they have what constitutes a good life, but they are confused about why they are unhappy and feel unfulfilled. I help clients uncover all the ways they are being held back from being happier and more successful in their lives and careers. Through my practice, I help people find direction, purpose, strength, happiness, and more in control of their lives.

I work with successful and creative individuals, as well as those who have high-stress jobs. Although everything may seem fine on paper, it's often a different story on the inside.

Many people find themselves stuck in survival mode, caused by several factors such as unconscious unmet needs or stuck trauma patterns. The good news is there is a gentle and safe way through!

There are many reasons eating disorders are invited into your life. Just as there are many reasons why a person develops an eating disorder, the way you recover will be just as unique. If there was a one-size-fits- all solution, that would perhaps be as deceptive as the problem itself. Whether it’s perfectionism, judgment, loneliness, self-improvement, health, fear, family issues… Together we will discover what invites these problems into your life, and begin to find what recovery means for you.
Are you struggling with feeling inferior; feeling superior; needing to be perfect; feeling you're a burden; or people pleasing? When we grow up in difficult circumstances, we come up with these beliefs/ways of being as a way to help us feel a little more safe. As difficult as it is to hold these beliefs about ourselves, they somehow help us feel better. As we grow up, they create difficulties in our adult relationships.
