SUPPORTING HEALING, GROWTH, & CONNECTION.

Specializing in client-centered therapy for couples, I help partners strengthen their bond, deepen intimacy, improve communication, and navigate challenges together. For individuals, I offer compassionate support for those facing identity exploration, personal growth, and healing from trauma. My practice provides a safe, nurturing environment where couples and individuals alike can foster resilience and create meaningful change. Explore my services to find the right support for your journey.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Individual therapy offers a supportive space to explore personal challenges, gain clarity, and foster growth. Whether you're navigating stress, identity struggles, trauma, or life transitions, I work collaboratively with you to uncover patterns, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

COUPLES THERAPY

I work with couples to build practical relationship skills before moving into deeper emotional work. My approach helps break negative patterns and strengthen connections. This process aims to foster both immediate improvements and long-term relationship growth.

FAMILY THERAPY

I collaborate with families to resolve conflicts, restore harmony, and foster a sense of support and empowerment, creating a more balanced and nurturing environment where every member can thrive.

 RACE BASED TRAUMA

Through IFS, I help clients explore and heal the parts of themselves shaped by racial trauma. My approach creates a safe space for individuals to connect with their inner experiences and move toward greater sense of self and empowerment.

MEN'S ISSUES

I specialize in helping men navigate challenges related to intimate relationships, drawing on attachment theory to explore how early connections shape current patterns. By addressing emotional barriers and relational wounds, I support men in building healthier, more fulfilling connections. Whether you're struggling with vulnerability or communication, we can work together to foster meaningful change.

APPROACH

I bring both professional expertise and personal insight as a husband and father to my work as a therapist, offering compassionate support to individuals, couples, and families. In all of my work, you can expect me to blend evidence-based techniques with a warm, culturally sensitive approach. My goal is to create a safe, understanding space where clients feel empowered to explore, heal, and build resilience. If you are searching for "counseling near me", virtual appointments are available wherever you are located. I also offer in-person services out of my Seattle office.
