He helps clients uncover meaning, build emotional resilience, and overcome personal challenges using a warm, thoughtful approach grounded in clinical insight. Whether supporting someone through anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or trauma, Benjamin fosters a space of trust and reflection that empowers long-term growth. He offers individual, couples, family, and group therapy tailored to each client’s unique story and needs. Benjamin is particularly passionate about supporting individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, and trauma-related conditions.

His practice also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and couples counseling strategies, including emotionally focused therapy. With a grounding in mindfulness and present-moment awareness, he helps clients deepen insight and make meaningful shifts in their emotional and relational lives. He offers additional therapeutic modalities to meet diverse needs across emotional and relational concerns.
Benjamin works with a wide range of clients, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals, young professionals, parents, and adults undergoing mid-life transitions. He is experienced in supporting individuals navigating complex cultural identities and intergenerational dynamics. Outside of therapy, Benjamin finds joy in connecting with family and friends, playing piano and volleyball, cooking, and engaging in insight meditation as part of his personal commitment to wisdom, compassion, and mindfulness.
