I received my MSW from New York University in 2018. Before becoming an LCSW, I worked in media, and having lived in the Bay Area and New York City, I understand the unique challenges and stressors many people encounter when trying to find balance in frenetic and competitive environments. My approach to therapy is to help men build a safe, caring therapeutic relationship to help them thrive. Beyond my training, I bring compassion and empathy from my own recovery to support your healing and growth. My style is active and I will collaborate with you to tap into your identity, strengths, values, and interests in our work together to achieve your goals.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Finding a therapist that you can trust takes patience and courage. In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, I want to know who you are, your strengths and what is going well in your life, and what brings you to therapy. This will help us collaborate on a plan that guides us in our work together in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Drawing from a variety of evidenced-informed interventions from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing as well as Solution Focused techniques, I will collaborate with you to tap into your identity, strengths, values, and interests to respond more skillfully to life’s challenges.
