The clients I work with are as diverse as the city we live in; from adolescents to older adults, my focus is on treating complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. Clients come to me with the intention to heal, and liberate themselves from the cycles that have kept them in a place of insecurity.

As a dedicated mental health counselor specializing in narrative therapy, my primary focus is on understanding and addressing the unique stories of my clients. My ideal clients are individuals who are navigating significant life transitions, such as immigration, career changes, or relationship challenges. These clients often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their sense of identity and purpose. They seek a safe and empathetic space where their experiences can be heard and validated, and where they can explore new narratives that empower them to move forward with confidence.

I have over thirty years of clinical experience and I strongly believe in the resiliency of the human spirit; the ability for a person to heal and grow given the right kind of nurturing and support. I have witnessed this countless times in many different settings in my professional life. My experience has largely been, though not exclusively, working with men as I have worked in the field of HIV/AIDS for a number of years. I focused on men’s' issues in my graduate work and that, in combination with years of practice, have allowed me a particular insight with regard to working with men and their presenting issues in therapy.

Change is difficult, and often unavoidable. I work with people who are looking to overcome the obstacles in their lives. Everyone needs growth, and often the greatest opportunities are found in the greatest of challenges. Though we cannot always choose what happens to us, we can always exercise self awareness and decide how we are going to move forward. It is when we disengage from our struggles and the need to move past them that we cease to make conscious decisions. My clients come to therapy looking for their own unique transformation. It is my great privilege to assist them in making it happen.

When confronted with a challenge it’s not enough to look inwards in the here and now but also examine how our past and societal systems affect the way we function in the world. Whether it’s walking through trauma, relationships, anxiety, depression, or discerning where you are in the wide spectrum of gender and sexuality, it takes a holistic and integrative approach to move forward into the path to wellness
