My Specialties

Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, and Men’s Mental Health are just a few of the areas I specialize in. I use a cultural trauma lens to thoroughly process unresolved issues that get in the way of your best self.

I also work with women. If you have noticed patterns in your life that keep you from having healthy relationships with men or have not had healthy male role models in your life, seeing a male therapist may help address those concerns. 

I help anyone who struggles with relationships, emotional intimacy, and connectivity. Take the first step in connecting with yourself.

Lets Talk

Relationship Issues

There are a variety of reasons relationships hit a stumbling block. It might be because of a loss of trust between you and your spouse or your coworker going behind your back. You and your sibling may be competitive to the point of animosity. Whatever the reason, you can take steps to mend fences and get back to a healthy point.

Feeling “Stuck” or “Lost”

The experience of being stuck can leave a person feeling entirely unmotivated. It may appear there are no solutions available to alter their current circumstance. If you are experiencing these emotions, it may be good to know that you are not the only one going through them.

Codependency Issues

Codependency is a learned behavior passed down from one generation to the next. It is a mental and behavioral disorder that makes it hard for a person to have a healthy, satisfying relationship with someone else.

Generational and Historical Trauma

Mannerisms, appearance, and genetics are all inherited from our biological roots. However, they're not the only things we receive from generations before us. For example, we may also inherit trauma. This trauma comes in the form of generational or historical trauma, and how we deal with it can affect our choices as we move through childhood to adulthood.

Emotional Intimacy

Emotional intimacy allows you to have deep conversations while feeling secure and supported. Feeling emotionally connected to someone boosts your mood and gives you a sense of purpose. Every relationship has a sense of intimacy. When there is a shift or a decrease in intimacy, the relationship suffers.

What Is Anxiety and How Is It Treated?

Everyone experiences anxiety sometimes. However, if you have these feelings for at least six months, notice the anxiety is extreme, or it seems to make life more difficult, this could be because of an anxiety disorder. Your therapist can help you find the right solutions for your situation when dealing with this.

Trauma Recovery Through Therapy

Professional trauma therapy acts as a way for people to heal from trauma issues and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Therapists can help those whose trauma recovery may be more complicated or in conjunction with other issues like depression, anxiety, or substance abuse.

Men’s Mental Health and the Importance of Therapeutic Care

A combination of stigma and gender stereotypes may make it more difficult for men and their healthcare professionals to realize when mental health support is needed. However, men need to be aware of their mental health and take care of it the same way as their physical health.
