I want to get to know you. What are your hopes, your dreams, your strengths? Which values do you want to enhance? What is standing in the way of realizing that preferred version of yourself or your relationship?

Let’s discover answers to those questions together. My approach includes empathetic listening, insightful questions (I hope!), and collaboration to make the growth and change you seek feel like that next natural step.

I believe everyone has a different journey, and together we can craft what fits best for you. I draw from narrative practices, self-awareness work, self-acceptance work, and attachment styles exploration to develop a safe space for you to heal and grow.

My approach

For my whole life, I have been drawn to stories. I spent many years writing my own — from academic essays to articles to screenplays. Storytelling has gotten me to the core of who someone is—what drives and blocks them. What do people tell themselves? What do they tell others?

Through my experience as a client, I learned that the key to liberation from an unwanted story is feeling understood. As a gay man, this resonated with me since so many ideas I had about myself were internalized from my cultural upbringing. In raising my own child, I have seen how emotional attunement and encouragement to be one’s actual self impact social-emotional development. I believe it is vital to help someone embrace their authentic selves — it’s crucial for mental health and emotional thriving.

I’m originally from New York, and while I have learned the ways of the West, I will always have a special place in my heart for bagels, pizza, the subway, and being direct. Outside of therapy, I enjoy catching up on the latest TV, traveling, and spending time with my family.
