As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, many of my clients are either exploring and accepting their identity for the first time or deepening their understanding of themself while working on other things, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. I feel incredibly grateful to offer clients a uniquely safe space where they often feel comfortable enough to share and explore things they have previously been unable to talk about. I show up with genuineness, curiosity, empathy, and humor.
My approach to therapy is best described as person-centered with a humanistic and trauma-informed core. I pull from and incorporate various modalities such as CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and IFS. I try to strike a balance between providing short-term solutions to alleviate distress and actively exploring any root causes.
As a bisexual trans man I look forward to working with other LGBTQ+ folks and fostering a sense of support and solidarity. I'm glad that you've already taken the first step in looking for help and I hope you feel empowered to make the next choice that feels right for you!
