Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York with over 15 years of professional work experience across ages and modalities. Beyond my counselor’s training, I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology. My collective training in mental health is vast and includes providing services to children (foster care), adults, couples and families, law enforcement, elite athletes (NBA and NFL), VIP’s, executives and veterans.
In addition to my academic training, I also offer unique perspectives to my counseling as a man of color, as a Marine Corps veteran, as a retired blue-collar worker and as a father of two beautiful men (now in their 30’s). I mention these experiences because I want men to know that I care about what they experience at work, military or at home. I understand that many times our roles in life can get in the way of really living. And because many men grow up without a father in a culturally complex world, figuring it out on your own can be truly bruising.
Still, most of my clinical experience has been working with women, who are the typical first line of defense in single-parent homes. Here is where I have gained most of my experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & depression. Philosophically, I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Finally, I also have a Bachelor’s degree and years of experience in Pastoral Counseling for those who wish to receive Bible-based counseling.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person treatment.
One key advantage is convenience – you can connect in the way that fits your schedule and comfort level, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapy into a busy life.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and if the therapeutic connection is not right for you, it is possible to switch therapists. For many people, remote sessions provide an accessible and practical path to address everyday challenges and work toward meaningful change.
