About My Clients

My ideal Clients are those ready to build a kinder relationship with themselves while tackling hard issues like trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I specialize in supporting individuals who value a partnership rooted in transparency and authenticity. My intention is to help you develop the resilience and coping strategies necessary to weather life’s storms.

My Background and Approach

I believe being human is complicated, but that suffering need not be permanent. My clinical background is extensive, including competence in therapeutic approaches for a range of presenting concerns, but my focus remains on the therapeutic partnership. I use this background to offer you practical tools you can use the moment you leave my office. Together, we can explore your intellectual, emotional, and somatic landscape together, using a compassionate framework to help you live in greater alignment with your values.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My practice is rooted in the belief that "ally" is a verb. As an Engaged Buddhist and clinical psychologist, I approach therapy with a commitment to smashing the imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, and leveraging my privilege toward empowering others. I am a sex-positive, kink-allied, LGBTQ-affirming, neurodivergence-competent provider who values cultural humility. When I am not in the office, I am a father, a computer nerd, and someone who advocates for social justice wherever I happen to find myself. Also, I love spaghetti.
