My counseling practice focuses on adolescent and adults with a specialized focus on LGBTQ+ populations. As a gay man, I am held by deeply spiritual beliefs to help my LGBTQ+ community whenever possible.

I meet clients where they are in life and that is always my starting point while building a relationship to facilitate change.

Do you understand how a wound heals? Think about it. First, the pain needs to be acknowledged. Next, it needs to be tended to and stabilized. Then, the work of healing from within can begin. I believe in the significance of this understanding because, no matter what pains life may offer, we all possess an innate capacity to acknowledge, grow, and inspire change in our lives. We also need someone who is on our side, willing and committed to providing the conditions needed to feel safe and comfortable to express, explore, and heal from our struggles. Only then can we learn to lean into change.

My competent and casual therapy approach is a reflection of my personality, education, and experience. I feel that I have a unique skill set to help my clients in a skilled & trauma-informed way.

My role is to come alongside women of all ages in order to provide a safe place for hope, healing, and restoration to take root so that you can thrive.
