Presently full until summer 2026. Maybe you're managing fine on the surface with work, relationships, routines but underneath, there's still anxiety, regret, or the exhaustion. You might be navigating dating, complicated family dynamics, or just trying to build a life that actually feels like yours. I work with individuals in the gay community who are ready to stop translating themselves. Therapy isn't about fixing what's wrong but about finally having space to figure out what fits.
I specialize in working with LGBT folks who struggle with chronic anxiety, depression, earlier life experiences that still sting, and major life transitions- coming out, changing careers, or rethinking what you want from relationships.
If you’ve felt unseen or like you don’t quite fit the boxes other people expect of you, therapy can be a place to be understood and to start feeling more like yourself but on your own terms. If this resonates, feel free to send me a message so we can see if we’re a good fit.

My style is grounded, collaborative, and structured. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to you, including cognitive (how thoughts influence feelings/behavior), interpersonal (how you relate to others), and strengths-based work. I'm also trained in EMDR, a method that can help process the impact of difficult past experiences so they don't feel as present day.

I have training in cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR. However, each person is different and I typically pull from different modalities to best tailor to your challenges.
