One of the hardest parts of the therapeutic process is choosing the right therapist for you, and I hope to join you on your journey toward greater self-understanding, compassion, and insight. Many people come to therapy after experiencing emotional distress that has led them to feel overwhelmed and as though they have lost direction in, and control of, their life. In a safe and non-judgmental space, I work collaboratively with my clients to explore ways in which they can effectively regain a sense of empowerment, meaning, and control in their lives.

Central to my work is the idea that we all have different parts within us—like an internal family—with their own thoughts and emotions. By understanding and harmonizing these parts, you can gain better insight into your relationships. This self-exploration leads to greater emotional and interpersonal fulfillment, improved mood, and distance from anxiety.

While I have enjoyed working effectively with a wide variety of individuals, I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy, ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and couples/relationship challenges. I am currently seeing new clients in my Dupont Circle office, and I look forward to answering any questions you might have for me.

Feeling lonely and frustrated?

Goals for the group include increasing feelings of connection within in your interpersonal relationships, improving feelings of belongingness and relatedness to other gay men, and exploring relationship experiences, coming out, discrimination, and your role in society as a gay man.
