“Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.”
I’ve found that the most meaningful therapy journeys I’ve had the privilege to be part of all share a few key elements: trust, safety, engagement, curiosity, and yes, even a little fun. I aim to create a space where we can build something real together: a unique therapeutic relationship that blends clinical insight with authentic human connection.
My approach pulls mostly from CBT, ACT, REBT, Gottman, and Dharma-based practices, and I always keep a person-in-environment perspective in mind. The systems and surroundings we live in shape us deeply, and I believe therapy should honor that.
I earned my BS in Psychology, MS in Performance Psychology, and MSW from Illinois Institute of Technology, the University of Stirling in Scotland, and Chicago State University. My research has focused on stress, burnout, perfectionism, and goal-setting, and I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, late-stage neurodivergent diagnoses, and those working to find harmony between logic and emotion.
I also bring experience working with the Queer community, BIPOC folks, those in traditional and alternative relationship structures, people exploring spirituality, and men’s issues. I attend regular supervision with Elana Thomas, LCSW, and continue to grow and learn through every connection I make.
I’m looking forward to meeting you and seeing where our work together can take us!
