About My Clients
I offer individual psychotherapy to adults of all ages navigating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, grief, spirituality, identity development and life transitions. I also work with clients who would like to improve their general quality of life or explore themes related to meaning, purpose, and transformation.
My Background and Approach
I seek to understand the heart of one’s challenges and how present struggles are tied to one’s past and current environment, relationships, and identity development. My clinical work is informed by cognitive-behavioral approaches, mindfulness, trauma, Buddhism, social identity, and oppression. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and curious, and I deeply value co-creating a therapeutic space with clients that invites authenticity and vulnerability. I have studied Buddhism and psychology over the past decade at UMass Amherst, Harvard University, and Smith College. I have also engaged in intensive Buddhist practice, including a significant number of silent meditation retreats. As a Bi-racial/Black man, I have an interest in exploring and embodying liberating forms of masculinity for Men of Color.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that mental health is about the capacity to live and feel deeply into one's desires amidst and through the inherent vulnerability of being human. For me, this capacity is most fully realized through the development of wisdom and compassion. Psychotherapy offers a space to cultivate these capacities over time in ways that lead to deep transformation. Feel free to reach out to me if you are struggling and seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and your world.
