About My Clients
Many of the men I work with look capable from the outside but feel stuck internally-repeating relationship patterns, carrying pressure, or navigating big life transitions. Some are becoming fathers and wondering how they can show up differently than the models they inherited. Others are activists, creatives, or professionals navigating identity, burnout, or cross-cultural tension. Therapy is a place to slow down, understand your patterns, and build a more intentional way of living and relating.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR-trained clinician working with adults navigating identity, relationships, and life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling like they’ve done a lot of thinking about their problems but still feel caught in the same patterns. My approach combines insight-oriented therapy with EMDR to help process experiences that continue to shape how you feel, react, and relate to others. Rather than just talking about problems, we work at the level where patterns actually move: emotionally and somatically. Clients often come to explore relationship patterns, anxiety, identity questions, or the transition into fatherhood (sometimes called patrescence), and how early experiences shape the way men approach intimacy, responsibility, and self-worth. Therapy with me tends to be collaborative and curious. We slow things down, make sense of what’s been shaping you, and create space for new ways of responding.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy works best when it acknowledges the larger contexts shaping our lives including culture, family systems, identity, and power. My work is informed by a social-justice perspective and by years working with activists, community organizers, and people navigating systems that often feel overwhelming or unjust. I’m particularly interested in how masculinity is evolving and how men can develop emotional awareness without losing their sense of strength or agency. Becoming a father has also deepened my interest in the transition to parenthood and how we consciously shape the next generation. I value curiosity, humility, and the idea that therapy is not about “fixing” people but about understanding the patterns that developed for good reasons and deciding how we want to live now. Outside of therapy, I’m interested in cultural shifts, and the ways people create meaning in their lives and communities.
