Men’s issues, life transitions, sexual identity / orientation, & immigration / cultural trauma are often difficult to explore with those unfamiliar with your lived experience and feelings of confusion, depression and anxiety are normal responses. However, you do not have to deal with them alone. Do you ever feel unappreciated, like no matter what you do you are never enough? Do you feel like life isn't going how it "should be" or “as planned”? I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, people struggling with immigration and racial trauma, & those going through difficult transitions in life.

To make meaning of how your life has gone so far and, perhaps, find some peace within your story. Sometimes these real, human desires can feel daunting without some support... My approach is extremely genuine, compassionate, and ... real. I have many years of experience working with clients who have encountered challenges in life transitions, identity/sexuality, relationships, historical family trauma, depression/anxiety, and questioning what it means to live their truth in life.

Are you stuck in a pattern and can't find your way out? It can seem like you can't stop doing things that will hurt you in the long run. You find yourself saying, "This is just how I am." The story you believe about yourself- about what you deserve - is what will manifest. That narrative will run your life until you dismantle it, & rewrite it. If you aren't running it, it is running you. " The story always wins™ ". My approach is to help you figure out where you learned these things, & discard those that cause you pain & are no longer productive.

"I don't want to do these unhealthy things, but I just feel like I can't stop." Sound like something you have thought or said lately? If we don't process why we are doing the behaviors that cause us pain, we will just keep doing it. If we don't trace back where our abusive internal dialogue came from, we continue those thoughts. Are you tired? I can help.
