You’re not broken—you’re just stuck, overwhelmed, or maybe carrying more than your fair share. I work with people who are ready to better understand themselves and make meaningful shifts. I specialize in working with bisexual men and other members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or a life transition that’s thrown you off course, we’ll figure it out together.
My style is a mix of practical and reflective. We’ll challenge unhelpful thoughts (CBT), reconnect with your values (ACT), unpack old narratives (narrative therapy), and get curious about the deeper stuff (psychodynamic). Therapy with me is collaborative; I am here to help guide you through the journey of your mind.
If you're ready to feel more like you, let’s talk! I currently have limited availability weekday afternoons.
