Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Individual Therapy | Accepting New Clients | In Person + Virtual

I specialize in helping men build confidence and navigate the often-overlooked connection between how they see themselves, their mental health, and their sexuality. I help men reconnect with themselves and understand how their sense of masculinity and confidence ties into their personal and sexual lives.

This includes addressing emotional disconnection and creating a safe space where men can explore their relationship with their own masculinity and place in the world. I also specialize in helping men navigate relationship challenges, such as communication issues, infidelity, and navigating specific relationship stages.

I understand that many men find it hard to open up and be vulnerable with another man, and I’m here to challenge that. Together, we’ll break down those barriers and foster a sense of trust and openness. Whether it’s overcoming self-doubt, addressing fears of inadequacy, or understanding how past experiences shape your sense of self, I’m here to create a space where you can have honest conversations about the challenges that hold you back. My focus also includes helping men improve emotional regulation, set boundaries, and tackle relationship challenges – especially for those who thrive with structure and direct support.

If therapy feels intimidating or unnecessary, that's understandable—many of my clients feel the same way at first. My approach is straightforward, mindful, and nonjudgmental, offering practical tools to build confidence, find clarity, and strengthen relationships, starting with the one you have with yourself. Having faced my own challenges with confidence, emotional regulation, and identity, I’ve learned the value of honest reflection, intentional growth, and creating systems that support resilience, even in overwhelming times.

As a cisgender, heterosexual white man with Italian roots, I understand firsthand how deeply culture and tradition shape who we are and how we see ourselves. Growing up, I felt the weight of expectations around what it means to be a "man" and how to show up in the world. These experiences have given me a unique perspective on the pressures men face when it comes to embracing vulnerability and challenging the societal norms that often hold us back. I know how hard it can be to step outside those boxes, and I’m here to help you do just that in a way that feels authentic and empowering.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me staying active, exploring the outdoors, or experimenting in the kitchen with recipes inspired by my Italian background. My therapy style is relational, authentic, and supportive. I’ll challenge you to push beyond your comfort zone and confront what’s holding you back, while also walking alongside you as you build a life of confidence, purpose, and fulfillment.
