Being a gay man in today’s society isn’t easy. Everyone seems to have money, success, good looks and as much sex as they want. If you’re like most clients I work with, you’ve probably spent most of your life feeling shame. Your culture, your community, and maybe even your family, told you you weren’t good enough. By now you have probably built a successful life. But despite the external success and validation, you still don’t feel good enough. Small rejections may trigger you. You frequently compare yourself to others. You lack confidence in your sex life. Or maybe you find yourself doing too many party drugs.

Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

I work with couples and those in platonic relationships in all different stages—maybe you and your partner(s) want a dedicated space and time to connect and focus on your relationship or would like to work through challenges and issues as they arise or you’re going through a major life transition (like a new health diagnosis or moving in together) and need some additional support. Maybe you’re interested in opening up your relationship and want to explore ethical nonmonogamy or polyamory. Or you and your best friend had some recent ruptures you’d like to try and repair with the help of someone else. That’s where I come in.

Currently accepting new couples only. Choosing a couples therapist is no easy task, but it is important to find someone who actually is trained in this work. Relationships are the core of society and our lives, and yet we are never taught about the basics of communication: talking and listening. My work with couples AND individuals centers on learning how to talk about and listen to feelings, in order to build empathy and connection. Learn what works and how to get closer to those you care about (including yourself!).

Everyone has a story to tell, and a unique set of circumstances, challenges, and experiences that make us who we are. I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a safe space in which they can be heard and receive support in navigating any issue that prevents them from being the person they want to be. I have experience working with children, teens, and their families, as well as young adults, working on issues ranging from anxiety and depression to self-esteem, trauma, difficulty adjusting to life transitions, complicated relationships, or with people who simply wanted to get to know themselves better.

As a therapist, I actually talk. Having authentic conversations with you is important to me. I validate and honor all your reactions to life and want to know about them. More technically, I practice eclectic asset-based (your strengths, safety and support) , attachment-informed (secure relationships), intersubjective (noticing how we relate), and Jungian (making the unconscious, conscious) psychotherapy.

Are you new to therapy and looking to understand and manage your anxiety and stress, or have you been in therapy but need to uncover the last missing pieces to take your progress to the next level? My clients often struggle with choice paralysis (decision making, completing tasks), career progress (quitting, promotions, job changes), next steps in relationships (marriage, breakup, family planning), people pleasing (difficulty saying no, avoiding conflict), and feeling apathetic/dissatisfied with life. I also work with couples integrating CBT and behavioral couples therapy to establish new problem-solving and communication skills.

Attachment-based Therapists
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
