You already possess the capacity for more harmony and balance in your life and relationships. I can help you build confidence around communicating your desires and trusting your instincts. And, help you feel more connected to yourself and those you love. Sometimes the obstacles that inhibit us are elusive - it feels difficult to identify what is getting in the way. Other times we may know the problem but don’t know how to change it. For over 12 years I've helped adults, teens, and couples who struggle with critical voices, toxic patterns, chemical dependency, and co-dependency obtain the tools necessary for relief.

Calling all over-thinkers, perfectionists & people pleasers! If you feel bound by the shameful “shoulds” that keep you stuck in cycles of problematic patterns, bad habits, unfulfilled relationships & addictive behaviors - I see you. As a gay man and US immigrant, I have lived the “othering” that comes from not belonging to the dominant norms and culture; and I recognize the deep sense of isolating loneliness that follows rejection, harsh judgment & low self-esteem. A recovering perfectionist myself, I get it. I am here to help. Living our lives for others is exhausting. When will enough be enough? When will YOU be enough?

For over thirteen years, I've been seeing clients (both individuals and couples) and my goal has always been to help them achieve meaningful change, whether in getting through a difficult current situation or wanting to break old patterns that keep them from living a more fulfilling life. Some challenges I've helped people overcome include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, feeling stuck in a rut, grief, hopelessness, self-esteem issues, and work-related stress. Exploring these issues with a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental therapist can really help.
