(He/Him/His)
Occupational Therapist
The best of mental healthcare in one place. At Geode, we combine full-spectrum psychiatry and talk therapy to better meet changing patient needs.
With a specialized focus on empowering the LGBTQIA+ community, I offer compassionate support to individuals as young as 10 years old, as they navigate the complexities of mental health challenges. My commitment lies in fostering an inclusive and affirming space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. I identify as a transmale and understand the challenges of finding a therapist who truly grasps the intricacies of gender and sexuality. Utilizing a dynamic blend of evidence-based modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, family systems, strengths-based approaches, and solution-focused techniques, I tailor my interventions to meet the unique needs of each individual. My practice is driven by a deeply ingrained belief in the resilience and potential of every client. I am dedicated to guiding them through their personal journeys with unwavering compassion, understanding, and support, empowering them to achieve their goals and live authentically.
