About…

My work serves adults seeking therapy for anxiety, trauma, self-worth, self-esteem, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and career issues. Many of my clients are men, high-achieving professionals, and queer and BIPOC folks who show up in the world as capable and composed, but underneath, carry the weight of early shame and trauma, relational wounds, questions of identity and purpose, or a quiet sense that something essential is missing.

My approach is insight-oriented, relational, and existential. In session, I’m engaged and curious. I don’t just sit back and listen – I think out loud with you, reflect what I see, gently ask hard questions, and work with you towards a better understanding of yourself.

I draw on psychodynamic, emotion-focused, attachment, and EMDR approaches to explore how past experiences – especially those shaped by difference, shame, or family dynamics – still echo in the present. I also integrate CBT and ACT to help clients notice unhelpful narratives, relate to them more flexibly, and take action towards change.
