I have experience working with individuals and groups who are working through challenges to include but are not limited to: trauma, adversity & resilience, attachment & relationships, gender & identity, systemic oppression, substance use, phobias, anxiety & depression, existential dilemmas & spiritual formation, racial & ethnic identity exploration, exploring kink & BDSM, death and dying, and exploring ethical non-monogamy.
I specialize in treating trauma, emotional suffering, and psychological stress. My experience ranges from generalized anxiety, PTSD (sexual trauma, domestic violence, attachment trauma), major depression, gender, self-harm, substance use & disassociated disorders. I utilize an anti-oppressive framework. I affirm all binary & non-binary individuals, genders, races, ethnicities, spiritual orientations, sexualities, and intimate relationship frameworks.
I often see driven professionals in high-pressure environments. Many of my clients are men, trying therapy for the first time or continuing work they've already started. Clients generally come to see me to work through stress, anxiety (especially social anxiety), depression, life transitions and trauma. I'm also thoroughly trained and passionate about working with the broader LGBTQ+ population.
My clients are adults (18+) looking to initiate, adjust to, or navigate major life transitions. My clients are both looking to process their experiences and be validated in them while also being willing to learn and implement various skills to help move life in a better direction. I support clients going through breakups, changes in family and/or friendships, loss of a loved one, job and/or school changes, moving to a new city, or a change in health diagnoses.

Welcome! I specialize in working with Gay Men and LGBTQ+ Adults. I also specialize in anxiety, worry and panic. If you have been looking for an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist who understands the issues unique to our community, please feel free to reach out. Over the years I have had great rapport with my LGBTQ+ clients.
I approach therapy with warmth and honest reflection to create a non-judgmental space for self exploration. I am passionate about working with individuals who are experiencing emotional struggles, low self esteem, transitional issues and attachment injuries.
My practice mainly consists of young professionals from diverse backgrounds, who are navigating careers, and balancing family, friends, and the increased challenges of daily life. I work with individuals who are struggling with grief and loss from the Global Pandemic. I have successfully provided treatment for individuals who have had adverse childhood experiences which can manifest in adulthood as depression, anxiety, ptsd, or having trouble setting goals for the future.
Sometimes, we can get so overwhelmed that we're not quite sure where to go or what to do to make things feel better. I want you to know that you've taken the wonderful first step to come here, and I applaud you for doing that. Sometimes, seeking help can be equally challenging as finding it. I hope to be able to assist you in handling these difficult struggles so they don't become insurmountable.

People often come to see me when they are feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by anxiety. They have been pushing themselves to get everything "just right" and taking on way too many tasks and activities while feeling powerless to set boundaries with their time and energy. It's hard to ask for help, but it's possible to find more freedom and ease. We can work together to figure out how.
Are you struggling with worries, frustrations, and anxiety? Are you noticing it's hard to get clear on who you are or what you want? Are you experiencing challenges in your relationships with friends, coworkers, or romantic partners? I'm here to help you explore these concerns and more. I have special experience with folks in the LGBTQ+ community, and also with youth and young adults. In addition, I support couples and relationships, and people across different identities.
My goal is to help you create the life you want in a welcoming environment where you can safely explore what's pushing you forward, and what's holding you back. Spirituality is an important part of what makes you uniquely YOU. Ever wonder if this world - and your life in it - make any sense at all? Well that's a spiritual question. Your spirituality is a part of your story, and your story is important.
Too often we can feel our lives are slipping away from ourselves. We can get stuck repeating behaviors that feel natural but that result in the same old painful outcomes: dating the same type of partner, getting into the same arguments, struggling in the same way to feel a connection, feeling the same anxiety or ambient-sadness. I work with patients to understand and decalcify these patterns as well as the deep systems of meaning that sustain them.
