My approach to therapy is grounded in deep presence, compassion, and a belief in your innate capacity for growth.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, challenges, and strengths without fear of judgment. My work is collaborative and client-centered, integrating mindfulness, internal family systems (IFS), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and parts work.
I specialize in supporting men struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and compulsive behaviors, including sex and pornography addiction. With 17 years of meditation experience, I help clients develop self-awareness, self-regulation, and lasting change.

My approach to treatment and counseling is a holistic one which includes using evidence-based models of psychotherapy, as well as more alternative based therapeutic methods. I utilize different modalities and focus on the entire person where we assess and look at their mind, body, and spirit. I see every individual as a complex and unique being who is a product of their environment and genetics (nature and nurture). In turn, we come up with a treatment plan that is supportive, multi-faceted, and specific to your needs. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and grief.
