You know yourself best, and I’m here to help you dig into what’s weighing on you. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, focused on creating a warm and supportive environment. I will meet you with compassion and care—and some tough questions—to better understand your experience and needs. Together we can explore where you are now and figure out what will help you to be the best version of yourself. We can address topics like life transitions, anxiety, self-esteem, gender identity and exploration, and sex and relationships.
I am dedicated to creating a non-judgmental space to affirm and empower you on your journey toward greater self acceptance and growth. As a gay man, I bring my own lived experience and an intimate knowledge of the issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community to my work with queer clients.
Therapy is most effective when you feel comfortable and connected to your therapist. Reach out to set up a consultation where we can get to know each other and discuss your goals for therapy.
