While I work with a wide range of folks, I tend to be the person folks come to when other therapies haven't worked. Relational Somatic Psychotherapy is a deep and powerful therapeutic approach. It works at a very deep and primal level. We combine neuro-biologically informed treatment with mindfulness, movement, traditional talk therapy, drama therapy and more, all in the container of our relationship.

You worry you aren’t doing things right and you’re burdened with challenges that keep you stuck. As this overwhelm grows bigger it's hard to be your authentic self, act upon your gifts, and form meaningful relationships. You shy away from taking risks and you're nervous to be real with others. Let's discover together how to reconnect with your values and reclaim the life you want to live.
My clients want to change their lives. They are sick and tired of having to deal with imposter syndrome, resentments towards a loved one, anxiety, depression, stress, OCD, or traumatic experiences. I am dedicated to providing a supportive and inclusive space where individuals from all backgrounds can find understanding, healing, and personal growth.
I see many people who are overwhelmed with their day-to-day life, and often because of this, their important relationships have begun to slip away from them. They long for close, grounded relationships that enable them to experience more of the best parts of life.
I have experience helping adults, adolescents and couples who are coping with anxiety, depression, illness, loss, life transitions including gender and sexual identity, substance abuse, relationship concerns including non-monogamy, negative body image, menopause, and the particular challenges faced by those working in the creative fields.
I work with successful and creative individuals, as well as those who have high-stress jobs. Although everything may seem fine on paper, it's often a different story on the inside. You might be feeling burnt out and going through the motions, or you could be feeling overwhelmed by your emotions. Many people find themselves stuck in survival mode, caused by several factors such as unconscious unmet needs or stuck trauma patterns. The good news is there is a gentle and safe way through!

Sexuality & pleasure are often stigmatized, this plays into how we feel about ourselves, our bodies and in relation to others. I specialize in sex, and relationship issues with couples/partners towards undoing harmful stories which harm us and create shame. I work from a trauma informed lens to undo and empower. I work with clients to signifcantly reduce distress and undo longer standing concerns.
I help ambitious professionals who feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. They feel like they have what constitutes a good life, but they are confused about why they are unhappy and feel unfulfilled. I help clients uncover all the ways they are being held back from being happier and more successful in their lives and careers. Through my practice, I help people find direction, purpose, strength, happiness, and more in control of their lives.
Are you struggling with feeling inferior; feeling superior; needing to be perfect; feeling you're a burden; or people pleasing? When we grow up in difficult circumstances, we come up with these beliefs/ways of being as a way to help us feel a little more safe. As difficult as it is to hold these beliefs about ourselves, they somehow help us feel better. As we grow up, they create difficulties in our adult relationships.
Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by stress in your personal life, career, or relationships? Are you struggling to find meaning in your work and experiencing burnout? Do you also grapple with anxiety or depression? I specialize in guiding individuals through these challenges, helping them find clarity, resilience, and fulfillment in their lives. As a therapist, I have a particular focus on supporting sensitive and empathetic individuals, especially those in creative professions.
I specialize in men's issues, relationship struggles, anxiety, low self-worth, and help all my clients to prioritize their self-care as they navigate burnout and boundary setting. I'm sensitive to themes of people pleasing, perfectionism, internet/gaming addiction, life/career transitions, and work/life balance. I collaborate with clients of all backgrounds and lifestyles in both English and Spanish. I take pride in supporting couples (poly/kink friendly) and individuals (LGBTQI+ affirmative).

Many of my clients are over-functioning in their lives and have the underlying belief that their worth is tied to their usefulness and achievement. They often struggle with extreme guilt and approval-seeking so I focus on nurturing who they are as a person, outside the roles they perform. I work from a humanistic perspective and help my clients feel more confident in their desires and boundaries to gain a secure sense of self and build more fulfilling relationships.
Are you experiencing severe anxiety, overwhelmed by fear, struggling to sleep or confused by your loss of interest in things that used to bring you joy? Are you feeling emotional unstable in an intimate relationship, but stable in all your others? Do you say to yourself, 'something is not right', but can't pinpoint what it is? You may have been targeted by a Narcissist or experienced relational trauma. Together you and I will work together to discover the source and reclaim yourself.
Does it feel like you and your partner speak different languages? Are you questioning your gender/sexuality? Do you need support because someone in your family just came out as LGBTQ? Are you struggling with your kids? Your parents? Trying to balance it all? Are you going through perimenopause? Any of this can feel overwhelming! Let's work together to help you make sense out of it and feel better about life. Learn to communicate effectively with your partner and repair those ruptures.
I work to help families and couples feel closer and more connected and to overcome problems such as emotional distance, intimacy issues, and conflict. I enjoy working with members of the LGBTQ+ community and offer affirming and inclusive therapy for LGBTQ adults, couples and families.
Is your desire for sex low or non-existent? Or, are you compulsively seeking sex to the detriment of your career, health and relationships? I successfully treat men, women and couples who struggle with a variety of sex-related issues including low libido, painful intercourse, open/poly relationships erectile dysfunction, vulvadynia/vaginismus as well as sexual inexperience.

Feeling like you don’t fit in is stressful, isolating, and leads to fatigue. You’re left trying to figure out what to do next with very little support to guide you. Our society has rigid expectations that we can't help but internalize. As a cis gay man, I understand how isolating and frustrating this can be. I approach therapy with a warm, curious, and empathic style. You deserve to be understood and have deeper clarity.
Do you feel like you're trudging through life, weighed down by a constant sense of sadness & worry? Perhaps the joy you once knew has faded, replaced by a persistent feeling of being stuck. You're not alone. Millions of adults struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, & an overwhelming sense of being trapped in a cycle of negativity. I understand the profound impact these conditions can have on your daily life. The relentless drain of energy and the crippling anxieties can be really difficult.
Want to be heard and understood? Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, gay/lesbian/bisexual issues, addictions (substances or behaviors including sex addiction), or infidelities? Having difficulty finding a relationship, or leaving one? Want to stay together, but your marriage is rocky? Communication problems or behavior problems disrupting your relationship? Held back by old patterns? Does it feel like life is "too much" sometimes? These are just some of the reasons why people see me.
