Someone who seeks out talk therapy help, in order to help themselves, is an ideal client. Each of us has the capacity within ourselves to heal the pain from present or past experiences. Talk therapy allows a client the freedom to be heard, non-judgmentally, positively, encouragingly, as they work at their own speed, in ways that suit them, to bring about the best healing processes, activities, and goals for themselves.

Under any weather conditions, where rough seas and rugged shores collide, there stands a lighthouse signaling: “This way home; this way to safety.” (Monson) Under any life conditions, when our body, heart, mind, or spirit may collide with harsh reality, there comes a guiding signal from our inner lighthouse. Without such guidance, we may find ourselves lost, alone, hurt, discouraged, and ultimately dis-empowered in any aspect of our lives. Compassionate, collaborative therapy allows us to recognize and rely on our inner guidance as one of the key turning points towards self-empowerment, support, healing, success, and happiness.

I can help you learn how to change yourself and achieve greater happiness and peace of mind, regardless of whether you are suffering with a clinical disorder, or are simply having personal, professional, or relationship difficulties. Therapy starts with a relationship built on trust. But success in therapy takes more than trust, it takes learning the skills of clear thinking and good relationships. By practicing these skills with someone you trust while you talk about your concerns, you can learn how to increase your happiness and decrease your suffering.

I am a licensed mental health counselor and graduate of Columbia University, and have been providing mental health services since 2006. My practice incorporates the client’s input and feedback, which in my experience is essential to achieving insight. I believe that the best therapy does not end with achieving insight, but should extend to helping my clients develop a practical plan for turning insight into action. My job isn’t complete until I have helped my clients foster the resilience and self-reliance necessary for managing daily challenges on their own.

Your life journey as a gay person is full of unique joys and challenges. Most of us never learned how to be gay (and happy). I get it. But know this: you can create the life you want. You can find your chosen family, heal the past, overcome shame find your passion and learn to finally love yourself at any age. And you don't have to trek up this mountain alone. As a gay counselor, my passion is helping fellow gay people develop their own toolkits to overcome anxiety, heal and thrive. As a gay man I've tackled similar mountains in my life using Cognitive Behavior Therapy and tools that work. If you are ready, I'd be honored to help.
