My belief is that the best clinical tool is the relationship between counselor and client, so I will focus on getting to know you, how you want to live your life and what goals are most important to you. As a gay male of color, I am part of two underserved communities, and I accept and respect the responsibility my position holds. I proudly work with my peers, both LGBT+ and individuals of color.

I am a graduate level clinician who has a passion for helping young adults, Gen-Zer’s, and Millennial's, work through life transitions, relationships, school stress, and generational trauma. I understand how difficult it can be to navigate through uncertainty, not knowing what direction to turn, while unlearning those inherited toxic patterns. It’s even harder to find someone we can confide in comfortably while we figure all of this out. I would love to be that genuine presence while we work together to empower you to become the best and authentic version of yourself.

Life is hard. Sometimes we find ourselves upended and just in need of a safe space to land where we can sort through the unique details of our circumstances without judgement. I offer a therapeutic place of hope and healing where you can work through your thoughts and feelings. I apply an integrative approach to therapy which recognizes the whole-person: mind, body, and spirit. I utilize evidenced based approaches to help you restore balance and achieve wellness mentally, physically, and spiritually. No two people are alike, so I create customized treatment plans tailored to your unique style of processing and individual needs.

From the outside, it would appear that you have it all figured out. School? Aced it. Prestigious job? Grabbed it. Life that others would drool over? Nailed it. You've got it all! But then, why do you still feel miserable all the time? It's like your brain is in perpetual crisis mode. "What's wrong with me?!" you internally scream at yourself. Your friends and family offer reassurance, but you can't shake this feeling that at any moment, this life that you've worked so hard for is about to come crashing down. You keep a smile plastered on your face, but inside you're on the verge of imploding. You can't keep this up for much longer.

For those who want to thrive, not just survive....I am not your typical therapist: I combine modern psychology and hypnotherapy to create a customized path to get you to the future you want. Insight is important...but often not enough...to create change. I enjoy working with clients who value self-growth. My approach is comprehensive and holistic (mind, body and spirituality) to empower you to make the changes you want to make. Therapy with me is more like an authentic conversation. The first regular session is for us to get to interact and then you can decide if we're a good fit.

My work has been devoted to helping people work through relationship issues. Often clients enter therapy feeling lonely, depressed, or anxious. I hope to help clients feel comfortable with therapy and to begin to learn more about their early experiences, which may have led to negative thoughts and/or difficulty in relationships. I utilize EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples) to help clients understand how their underlying feelings may result in behaviors which contribute to unsatisfying relationships. My ultimate goal is to help clients change negative patterns and find more comfort and closeness in their lives.

Therapy offers a relationship in which we explore the impact of problems in life, and look for new ways to manage them. Sometimes we are stuck in a problem because of the ways in which our past experiences, relationships, traumas, and families have shaped our feelings, thoughts, and physiological reactions. Together I'll help you to explore the context and development of problems, as well as your relationship to them so new solutions can evolve. Therapy can be either brief or longer-term, especially as we look at patterns and issues related to family, dynamics, and attachment, or different types of trauma.
