In my work with clients, I use a really practical, active and results-oriented approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I don't spend much time at all on trying to figure out the past origins and history of your problems. Instead, I help you learn and apply specific strategies, skills and techniques so you can overcome your problems in the present, and achieve whatever personal therapy goals you choose for yourself, such as: socializing, making friends, forming relationships, being as...
My therapeutic style is warm and genuine and I like to use humor when appropriate. I am a big proponent of using therapeutic techniques that have good research evidence demonstrating their effectiveness.

It also changes clients' emotions by helping them change their thoughts and behaviors. I pr...
I want to help you to become the best version of yourself and to help you advance to your highest potential. I believe you don’t change your life by changing your life, you change your life by changing your mind. In other words, changing your perspective on how you respond to life stressors. Your responses will either cause you to be “bitter” or “better”. I want to help you to understand the thoughts and feelings that influence your actions and behaviors, and to help you gain clarity and insight...

In a field made up of mostly women and older male therapists, I understand finding someone relatable can be tough. In fact, fewer than 16% of therapists under 40 are men.

I bring both personal insight and years of clinical training to common mental health issues affecting men in their 20s and 30s.

It is normal to feel conflict, sadness, anger, or distress throughout our lives.
