My practice is varied, although the focus over the years has been the LGBTQ community. I also see singles, couples and families not identified as LGBTQ. My role is to be a supportive agent, assisting the client to explore their past and present and to be more open about conflicts that are causing stress. Together, we explore the clients family history, in order to develop a deeper understanding of their present patterns and relationships. Anxiety, low self-esteem, sexuality, work problems are all examined. As a parent who has adopted, I work with families and individuals around adoption/foster care issues.
I offer an empathic, safe, non-judgemental space to explore your concerns and feelings. In the spirit of eastern philosophy, acceptance and compassion are stressed. These concepts are combined with techniques in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
As a gay man and psychotherapist, I am in a unique position to understand and relate to the unique needs of the LGBTQ population. My experience has been years of working with this specific population and developing an expertise in terms of understanding the challenges and difficulties being open and confident. My practice includes couples and adolescents.
