Entering therapy is a bold, brave step. Most people who have been struggling have tried everything they know to feel better. Asking for support from a therapist marks a turning point. I offer clients my clinical judgment and attention that is rooted in a blend of Psychodynamic, Relational-Cultural and Mindfulness theories with a body-oriented focus. I integrate these concepts into our work in clear, understandable and practical ways. My clients tell me that they appreciate my real and authentic presence; my gentle, direct and honest feedback; and my engaging and interactive way of talking with them.
My clinical areas of expertise include somatic therapies (both EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy); working with LGBTQ+ people healing from the impact of homo/bi/trans phobia and bias; people who feel anxious and/or depressed; survivors of emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse; and gay men who engage in compulsive sexual behavior.
