Feeling stuck, frustrated, stressed, or in search of meaning? These emotions are universal, but they can hinder us from reaching our goals and living authentically. If you identify with the LGBTQ community, as a gay identifying therapist, I understand you might experience an added layer of stress. I understand the impact of these feelings and believe in hope for a better tomorrow. I specialize in helping clients with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, relational issues, and men's mental health issues.
Are these emotions impacting your relationship as well? They can complicate connections and make us feel distant from our partners. As a therapist, I work with individuals and couples to identify strengths, set goals, and create plans for addressing their challenges. My aim is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can cultivate strengths.
Embarking on therapy may feel daunting, but it's a courageous step towards finding hope and making meaningful changes. The journey can be transformative. Let's start healing together. Reach out to schedule an initial session or a free 15-minute phone consultation.
