About
My therapeutic approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational theories with a focus on facilitating insight and healing. I seek to understand the heart of one’s challenges and how present struggles are tied to one’s past and current environment, relationships, and identity development. My clinical work is informed by cognitive-behavioral approaches, mindfulness, trauma, Buddhism, social identity, and oppression. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and curious, and I deeply value co-creating a therapeutic space with clients that invites authenticity and vulnerability. I offer individual psychotherapy to adults of all ages navigating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, grief, spirituality, identity development and life transitions. I also work with clients who would like to improve their general quality of life or explore themes related to meaning, purpose, and transformation. I have studied Buddhism and psychology over the past decade at UMass Amherst, Harvard University, and Smith College. I have also engaged in intensive Buddhist practice, including a significant number of silent meditation retreats. As a Bi-racial/Black man, I have an interest in exploring and embodying liberating forms of masculinity for Men of Color.
