You might look like you're holding it all together, but internally feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck in repeating relationship patterns. If that resonates, you’re not alone. I specialize in working with gay men seeking deeper self-understanding, emotional clarity, and more fulfilling relationships. Clients come to me for: Anxiety and chronic stress Depression, low self-worth, and low self-worth Relationship issues and attachment patterns Recovery, identity exploration, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and attuned to your nervous system. We'll move at a pace that feels steady and manageable.
I offer in-person therapy in Palm Springs and online therapy throughout California. Some clients choose weekly sessions, while others prefer brief or as-needed “tune-up” sessions. We’ll shape our work together based on your goals, needs, and what’s happening in your life.
Reaching out can feel like a big step. If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit, I’m happy to connect and answer any questions. I offer a free 15-minute consultation, so you’re welcome to reach out.
