Here to Help You Heal
As a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C), I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, emotional wellness and stress, interpersonal challenges, identity exploration, and difficult life experiences. I draw on experience across medical and school settings to support patients of all backgrounds, with a focus on adolescents, young adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Together, we'll work to better understand your emotions, strengthen your coping strategies, and find a clearer path through whatever you're facing.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you don't have to figure it out alone. Whenever you're ready to take that next step toward understanding yourself and creating meaningful change, I welcome you to reach out.
My Approach to Care
Here, you can expect a warm, supportive environment where you're encouraged to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly and without judgment. Using person-centered and trauma-informed approaches, we'll work together to build coping skills, increase emotional awareness, and face life's challenges with greater confidence.
My style is collaborative and adaptable – your needs, goals, and lived experience shape the direction of our work, which is tailored to fit you specifically. Meeting you where you are and helping you discover change that feels meaningful and sustainable is what our time together is all about.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
As an openly gay cisgender male, I understand firsthand how much it matters to feel accepted, safe, and free to show up as your full self. This lived perspective informs the way I approach every session and has deepened my commitment to providing inclusive, affirming care for all patients.
My professional background across healthcare and school settings further shaped that commitment, reinforcing the value of adaptability, openness, and meeting people with genuine understanding. Whatever healing and growth look like for you, I'm here to help you find it on your own terms.
Personal Interests
Outside of my role as a mental health provider, I enjoy time at the gym, going on hikes, traveling, spending time with loved ones, and engaging in self-care practices. Being intentional about my own self-care keeps me grounded, which I believe makes me a better source of support for you.
