I specialize in working with individuals from a depth psychological lens, meaning that my work is rooted in a deep respect for and inclusion of the mysteries and paradoxes of life. I believe that we each have a unique path to finding and cultivating the most authentic and nourishing possibilities for ourselves. I specialize in work with eating disorders, body autonomy, and the intersection of psychology and spirituality.
I work with individuals and couples navigating identity, belonging, and relationships—especially within LGBTQIA+, kink/leather, sex-work, and consensual non-monogamy communities. As a queer, kinky, poly Black man, I bring lived experience and cultural awareness into the therapy room, alongside clinical training. I often support clients who have felt like outsiders due to race, queerness, trauma, or relationship structure, and who want a space where they don’t have to explain or shrink themselves. I became a therapist out of a deep curiosity about people and a belief in the power of being truly seen, understood, and supported in creating meaningful change. My goal is to offer an affirming, nonjudgmental space where authenticity is welcomed and complexity is held with care.
If you’re a woman or mother trying to hold it all together through the messy, beautiful realities of life’s changes, you’ve found a safe place to land. I specialize in supporting women and moms through maternal mental health and the big transitions that can leave you feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself. Whatever you’re carrying right now, you don’t have to carry it alone.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Fresno, CA
Searching for therapists in Fresno starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience align with what you want to address. Bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or other forms of care.
Fresno offers a strong mix of local therapy options, but the right fit may depend on more than proximity. You may want an office near Downtown Fresno, the Tower District, Clovis, or a location that works with your commute. Virtual therapy can also expand your options if your schedule, transportation, or location makes in-person visits harder to fit in. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultation options, and how their profile describes session style.
Therapy in Fresno can be expensive without insurance, so finding a therapist who accepts your plan can make care more affordable. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists in Fresno who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
