About

Life in your 20s and 30s can feel like a constant pressure cooker, especially when you’re navigating anxiety, substance use, or the weight of "manhood." Do you find it hard to express what’s actually going on, or feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? I’m here to help you navigate that discomfort. Whether you’re struggling to communicate in relationships or just feel misaligned with your values, we will work together to help you become the agent of your own change. My approach is person-centered and humanistic, meaning I meet you exactly where you are. We’ll use practical tools from DBT, CBT, and mindfulness to manage symptoms, but we aren’t afraid to get creative—sometimes even using art to explore what words can’t reach. My goal is to provide a space defined by empathy and authenticity, where you feel empowered to restructure your life in a way that feels healthy, holistic, and true to who you are.
