Hi, I'm Nick.
I’ve always been a question-asker. I’m curious about what makes people tick and what gets in the way when we’re trying to make changes in our lives.
I’m a firm believer that some of the best conversations happen when we stop pretending we have it all together. Therapy, to me, is a place to get real about what’s going on without taking ourselves quite so seriously. Sometimes making sense of your life means being able to laugh at the absurdity of being a person.
The Road Here
Growing up with ADHD meant a lot of trial and error. I had to figure out what worked for me—and how to find my place in a world that didn’t always seem designed for the way my mind worked.
Looking back, I think I was searching for something many of us want:
A place where we feel understood, accepted, and able to be ourselves.
My first real experience with therapy came in college. I wasn’t in a great place, but therapy helped me realize I had some things figured out better than I thought—and some things figured out a whole lot worse.
More importantly, it showed me how powerful an honest conversation with the right person could be.
At one point, I remember asking my therapist:
“Wait...you actually do this for work? Like, this is your job?”
He smiled and said, “Yeah...now pay up.”
Turns out, I wanted to do it for work, too.
That experience eventually led me to pursue a master’s in social work and become a therapist myself.
Years later, the same idea still guides my work:
People need to feel understood enough to grow.
Outside the Therapy Room
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me...
-
Playing guitar.
-
Attempting to improve my golf game (results vary).
-
Chillin’ with my cat, Winnie.
I’m a firm believer that therapists should be people first. Life outside the therapy room keeps me grounded, curious, and able to show up more fully for the people I work with.
So, What’s It Actually Like to Work With Me?
Good therapy isn’t about me having all the answers.
It’s about creating the kind of conversation where new answers have room to emerge.
We’ll probably laugh. We might follow an unexpected tangent and somehow end up somewhere surprisingly meaningful. And we’ll spend time with the difficult stuff, too.
I'll bring my training, experience, and curiosity. You'll bring your lived experience.
We'll figure out the rest together.
Who I Work With
I work with teens and adults in Washington, D.C. navigating ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, life transitions, substance use concerns, and the everyday stress that comes with trying to keep up with life.
Some people come to therapy knowing exactly what they want to work on. Others just know something feels off.
Either way, you don’t need a diagnosis—or a perfectly clear reason for being here—to get started.
My Approach
My work draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and an understanding of emotional regulation.
I begin by getting to know you. Your personality, your relationships, your values, and the way you make sense of your life all matter.
I’ll bring my curiosity, clinical training, and experience. You’ll bring your knowledge of yourself. Together, we’ll build an approach that feels practical, meaningful, and sustainable.
