If you've ever felt misunderstood, invalidated, or rejected because of who you are or the struggles you face, know that you're not alone. It’s my goal to provide a space where all are welcome as they are and honored in their journey toward wellness. I enjoy working with individuals navigating emotional dysregulation, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relational concerns, poor coping, and a myriad of other life challenges. As a queer man, I'm also especially passionate about serving LGBTQ+ communities and have experience providing affirmative therapy and WPATH-adherent letters of support for gender-affirming procedures.
My clinical approach is focused on building collaborative, warm, and authentic working relationships with clients that support their healing. I work from an integrated clinical lens rooted in cognitive-behavioral, humanistic-existential, and relational therapies. Since no two people are alike, I will always seek to tailor my approach to your specific needs.
I believe openness to self-exploration, a willingness to take on new perspectives, and a practice of giving one’s self grace in the face of hardship are key to sustaining whole-person health. No matter your concerns, I aim to provide an affirmative space where authenticity is valued and our collaborative efforts can facilitate meaningful change in your life.
