About

Therapy works when a person finally stops performing and starts telling the truth. That is my whole philosophy; everything else is technique. I help men untangle their anger from the version of masculinity they inherited, the one that treats frustration as the only feeling allowed. Irritability is usually a messenger, and our job is to find out what it has been trying to say. My methods are cognitive behavioral at the core: we examine the thinking that runs beneath the outbursts and revise it deliberately. For clients who want it, I weave an Islamic perspective into our work with care and respect. I sit mostly with men, and I offer a perspective many clients tell me they didn't know they needed. I will hold you accountable, kindly and without flinching, because comfort alone never changed anyone. My practice grew slowly, one referral at a time, and I like what that says about the work. Come as you are, and we will get started.
