As a licensed psychologist, I provide teletherapy services tailored to address many men's issues, including personal and spiritual growth. I am committed to creating a supportive and confidential environment where men feel empowered to explore their experiences and challenges. Through compassionate listening and evidence-based interventions, I assist clients in navigating concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and identity exploration. I aim to help men cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and a more fulfilling life by fostering open dialogue and mutual respect.

Approach Description: In my practice, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy to support men's personal and spiritual growth. ACT encourages embracing thoughts and feelings rather than resisting them, promoting actions aligned with personal values. Mindfulness cultivates present-moment awareness, enhancing emotional regulation. Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious patterns influencing behavior, fostering deeper self-understanding. Together, these approaches empower clients to navigate challenges with resilience and authenticity.
