Introduction

I help men in recovery who feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of their direction. Treatment often focuses on understanding the patterns that linger after sobriety, strengthening emotional awareness, and improving relationships. Many clients gain clarity, steadiness, and a renewed sense of identity as they build a more meaningful life in long term recovery. I bring extensive personal experience in recovery, graduate training in religion and philosophy, a PhD in addiction neuroscience, and postdoctoral work at Yale School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School, giving me a deep understanding of mind, meaning, and personal change. I integrate psychodynamic therapy, somatic and spiritual practices, as well as my background in neuroscience to support nervous system regulation for men in recovery. Sessions are steady and reflective, helping you understand patterns, connect with your body, and clarify what gives your life meaning. You can expect space to grow with confidence and intention.
