Living with emotional distress can feel isolating
Take the First Step Toward
Real Change
Do you feel like you're on a path that's not quite right? Perhaps a sense of unease lingers, a feeling that something is missing. You may be yearning for deeper meaning and purpose.Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore these feelings, uncover your values, and discover a path that feels more aligned with your authentic self.

I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, internalized shame, and life transitions. I have a special focus on men’s issues and sexual concerns. My clients include young adults, immigrants, university students, LGBTQ+ and questioning individuals. I do not currently work with children.
Together, we will build a therapeutic relationship that helps you connect with your true self and express it more fully. My approach integrates psychoanalysis, psychodynamic therapy, object relations, Gestalt principles, and mindfulness, tailored to your unique needs.
My research has focused on methods to support clients with schizoid personality dynamics.I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for people of all cultural, religious, racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender identities. Whether you wish to process past trauma, navigate change, or enhance your well-being, I am here to support you.
