About My Clients

I’ve been told my male patients that they appreciate being able to connect to a male therapist. Men in college, in a growing career or men with families who are struggling with anxiety, depression or anger issues can benefit from my services. I can provide a safe place for men to explore their emotions and behaviors. I work well with patients who like to indulge the rational side of their minds. If you’ve felt scared about discussing your feelings or changing your behavior, I can help.

My Background and Approach

As a social worker, I’ve worked many years in an infectious disease clinic, working mainly with adults living with HIV. I’ve worked with patients with an array of psychological, financial, legal and medical stressors. I’ve honed my skills helping some of the most vulnerable populations in the country. My therapeutic interventions have been key to the optimal outcome of multiple patients over many years. I look forward to using my unique skill set to help others live the life they want.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Some of my core beliefs are that everyone should be treated with compassion, is worthy of forgiveness and should be helped if asked of them. I will provide support for patients even if they continue to stumble. Every person is valuable. Every life has meaning. I believe one of my duties is to help others realize their value and help define their own meaning.
