Moving toward what matters in your 20s, 30s, and 40s can be confusing and overwhelming. You might find yourself with a sense of lost time and regret, struggling to move forward from your past, and dealing with self-doubt and criticism. Uncertainty about your relationships and who you are as an individual add to the challenge. If you’re longing to make deeper changes and become more present, honest, and engaged in your life, adding in therapeutic support can be beneficial. I primarily work with adults, with a focus on LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies, gay/bi/queer men, as well as individuals wanting a sex positive therapist.
Through our work together, clients often experience meaningful improvements in their relationships, developing healthier connections where they feel truly seen, heard, and respected. They build greater confidence, self-acceptance, and understanding, gaining a nuanced view of themselves and meaningful mindset shifts.
I offer a supportive environment where you can explore and work through your experiences, perspectives, and concerns. My approach is open, collaborative, and exploratory, ideal for those who value a partnership in their therapeutic journey and toward their goals.
