Finding a new therapist can be daunting. If you’re here, then life might be getting in the way. The old ways you used to cope might not feel good anymore. You might feel stuck and unsure where you are going. My job is to guide you towards change and help you un-believe false narratives about yourself that are holding you back. Much of my work is focused on working with LGBTQ+ people, self esteem and managing relationship issues. I also specialize in working with gay men who struggle with substances or addiction. Additionally, I work with co-occurring mental health conditions such as trauma, anxiety, and depression.
In my work, I use my experiences alongside my education. As a white passing bi-racial gay man, I understand that people are complex and my experiences allow me to humbly understand and embrace the inner life of my clients.
I provide a safe and warm environment free from judgement. In our work together, we will explore who you are and where you come from. I will help you build insight and self acceptance, we will uncover patterns you may not have noticed before. I will challenge and empower you, reinforce your strengths and help you discover new coping skills.
