About My Clients

I specialize in working with men who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties — particularly when these challenges show up as emotional shutdown, anger, overthinking, compulsive habits, or feeling disconnected from oneself.

My Background and Approach

I use an empathetic, motivational, accepting, and welcoming approach to ensure you feel supported in discussing what matters to you, and work towards establishing the changes and improvements you desire. I engage in active listening to fully understand you before utilizing interventions to ensure therapy is effective and tailored to your needs. I utilize a combination of CBT, motivational interviewing, solutions-focused therapy, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and attachment therapy based on your particular needs and goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone has the capacity to change, grow and overcome their challenges as long as they are met with patience, acceptance, support, and empathy. I believe society often conditions us to develop unhealthy habits, patterns, and beliefs that prevent us from having the lifestyle, relationships, careers, and skills we desire. I've personally struggled with anxiety, depression, and complex trauma and have been able to overcome them through my own therapy, efforts, and clinical experience. I've also navigated life transitions, both by choice and by obligation, and understand the challenges people face when adapting to changes and facing internal and external barriers. I've had to address my own conditioning and work through rebuilding a healthy concept of what it means to be a man. I believe that it's a privilege to give back by working with clients to overcome similar challenges. If you want to learn more about how I can support you, please reach out to me.
