I really love what I do and I'm passionate about helping men become the fullest versions of themselves. It is my goal to help you connect to your sense of purpose, to yourself and to those you love most in your life. Therapy helps us to understand what's getting in the way and target those obstacles to help you start living, not just doing. If this resonates with you, let's get to work.

Treatment Approach
- Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Trauma-informed therapy that helps individuals explore deeply held, painful emotional experiences within a safe, attuned therapeutic relationship.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
Approach Description: The foremost healing agent in therapy is new creating new, corrective experiences together. My approach is active in the room and my aim is to build a real relationship that helps to relieve symptoms and remove obstacles that prevent you from being the fullest version of yourself. Through a mix of understanding your past, working through obstacles in the present and understanding your goals for the future, we work together to help you develop the flexibility to understand your emotions and learn from them, so that you can use that data to live better.

My practice is dedicated to the pursuit of helping men connect to themselves and others in a deep and fulfilling way. Often times, men who come to work with me find themselves saddened and disappointed by the mirage at the end of the road of success and professional pursuits. They've worked hard for a long time to fit the roles they were assigned or to reach the goals they thought would bring them happiness.
Unfortunately, many times as men we are taught relatively little about how to enjoy the present moment, connect deeply to others and how to actually be happy without focusing on doing and achieving. Each man brings with them their unique experience and it's my goal to help you fully understand yourself and find the life that you actually want to live, not the one that was sold to you by someone else.
