Gay, bisexual, and queer men face distinct challenges in connecting emotionally with other men. Struggling with societal expectations, it is easy to fall into isolation or unfulfilling relationships. Processing the “here and now” interpersonal dynamics in group therapy, men may find a safe space to redefine their own ways of relating, enabling them to form genuine connections in which they feel celebrated for who they are. This is why I created this online group for gay, bisexual, pansexual, and queer-identified men who want to grow in their connection to themselves and others.

Many of my clients struggle with shame and perfectionism, often preventing them from living fulfilling lives. When stuck in shame, people may question if they're “good enough” in multiple areas of their lives, which creates a cycle of shame that is difficult to get out of alone. I specialize in areas of insecure attachment, attachment/family trauma, CPTSD, grief and loss, sex and gender, obsession/rumination, and anxiety. I am trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and am certified in EMDR.
A weekly process group for men to connect more fully with themselves and with others. Together we share and learn to work with our anger, shame, loneliness, fear, grief and sense of agency in the world. We embrace men from all diverse backgrounds, cultures, and sexual orientations.

As someone who’s intellectually and/or emotionally brilliant, you likely excel in many areas of your life—whether as a high-achiever, leader, or visionary, yet you have a hard time saying no. You have become so good at helping others that you don't know how to turn it off or down. In fact, when someone asks you what you need, you have no idea how to answer that question. The idea that you need anything makes you feel confused and sometimes nauseous. You’d welcome help, but you don't have any faith or trust in people. You wish you could have relationships with others where you are able to say what you think and feel.

My approach to therapy uses humor, openness and honesty to dive beneath the surface of emotions, and address the root of the discomfort. Whatever it is that drives you into therapy - dissatisfaction with your job, relationship or just life in general - is explored in an environment of curiosity and compassion. We often cause our own suffering by being our own worst critic & through the made up stories we tell ourselves. Through our work together, we can uncover and address areas in which growth is wanting to occur, so you can become your best self.
"Tending the Fire Within:" A depth and intimacy-oriented group where we embrace and explore issues that men often find themselves struggling with. We share and learn to work with our anger, shame, loneliness, fear, grief and sense of power in order to create lives with more passion and connection. By supporting each other's experience, we dive more deeply into our own unique expression of masculinity and learn how we can feel more alive by holding our issues with compassion and heart. This group is co-facilitated by Jordan Wolfe.

Stepping into therapy with someone is an inherently risky process. You are courageously opening up to someone that you don't really know, in hopes of changing, of finding something new, of building a relationship that can create positive change. I respect those who take the leap and I get the importance that you find the right therapist so that you can be understood at a deep level and begin looking more closely at the places in your life that you would like to see change.
It's never easy when a marriage or significant relationship ends. Whatever the reason for the split, whether you wanted it or not, the breakup of a relationship can turn your whole world upside down. It triggers all sorts of painful and unsettling feelings. This is a support group to express your feelings and process how the end of your relationship is affecting you. Group members engage in active listening and are eager to connect with you through meaningful dialogue. Why endure the pain associated with breakups alone, when you can be supported by group members?

They avoid cookie-cutter formulas and truisms. They seek authenticity, freedom from self-blame, doubt, anxiety, and depression, confidence during life changes, clarity of purpose, and dignity in a confused and often shallow culture. They are willing to invest in themselves to find themselves. They seek understanding of their attachment style, repressed emotions, unconscious patterns, fixations, blind spots, and defenses.
