I specialize in working with adult gay men in West Hollywood and virtually throughout California. You might be tired of feeling like you’re performing—trying to be who others expect instead of who you really are. Maybe you’ve carried shame from your past, struggled with self-worth and addiction, or felt disconnected in relationships. Maybe you’re in a room full of people but still feel alone, or you’re out but trying to make sense of internalized homophobia. I help gay men who want to feel more at ease in themselves, understand where their pain comes from, and finally unburden the weight they’ve been carrying for too long.

I help gay men work through shame, self-doubt, past trauma, religious trauma, and addiction so they can feel more comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals and couples to understand what’s holding them back, build confidence, and improve relationships and sense of self. I also work with those who wish to use spirituality as a resource in therapy.

I understand what it’s like to carry shame, self-doubt, and old wounds, to feel stuck, or to have felt misunderstood growing up. In therapy, we’ll explore your past to make sense of your present and help you feel more at ease and confident in your life and relationships. If this feels like the support you need, I invite you to reach out today.
