Do you feel valued in your relationships? Do you struggle with identity and/or body image challenges? Does low self-esteem get in the way of living more authentically? Are you sober curious? Have you been harmed by religion, but want to connect more spiritually? Do you feel trapped in a pattern of choices that, while you recognize aren’t supportive, you continue making despite the negative consequences? I can relate. I’ve been there. It's not uncommon for gay men to experience the effects of heteronormativity. Which is why an affirming therapist can help foster resilience in a unique way.
I specialize in working with adult gay men and the unique challenges they face related to self-esteem, identity formation, people-pleasing, and anxiety. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship that works to identify goals and patterns of behavior. You're the driver and I'm in the passenger seat supporting you along the way.
I often say to new clients that therapy with me is sort of like taking a road trip - you're in the driver seat and I'm in the passenger seat helping you get to where you want to go. If you're ready to quiet the inner-critic, improve your relationships, and gain a greater sense of purpose and self-acceptance, reach out today.

I'm a humanistic and client-centered LGBTQ-affirming therapist. I look at each of my clients through an affirmative and humanistic lens. Meaning that I see the problem as the problem and not the person. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship where we'll work together to identify goals and patterns of behavior. You're the driver and I'm in the passenger seat supporting you along the way.
