You may be seeking therapy because something in your life isn’t working. That might look like depression, anxiety, self-harm, anger, substance use or another concern. I have great respect for your decision to enter this process. Already, you’re demonstrating strength and dedication by taking an important step towards your goals. As your therapist, I will work with you to meet the goals you’ve identified for your life. I focus on validating your lived experiences, holding space for the full range of your emotions and building on your existing skills to reduce distressing thoughts and harmful behaviors and to increase self-compassion.My practice emphasizes non-judgmental empathy, validation, respect and mindfulness. I also value play, humor and creativity in therapy. I practice with an intersectional framework, recognizing that our various identities shape how we experience the world. My interests include masculinity, multiracial identity, chronic pain, body image and self-esteem.Therapy can be a place to talk about things you’ve never told anyone before. My aim is to create a non-judgmental, safe, supportive environment for you to navigate these feelings. I believe your natural strengths will become apparent in therapy and will help you achieve your goals. Please reach out if you feel we might be a good match.
