I have a particular interest in helping people find meaning and healing after experiences of spiritual or religious trauma. I work with individuals and couples (straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, and queer) who are exploring intimacy, sexuality, identity, and the effects of depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges. As both a therapist and a gay man who has walked his own path of faith and self-acceptance, I bring empathy, curiosity, and authenticity to the work we do together. My goal is to help clients unpack shame, rejection, or loss of belonging and move toward a sense of wholeness and peace.
I take an approach that emphasizes safety, trust and self-discovery. Together we look at how early experiences, cultural and spiritual messages, and internalized beliefs have shaped the way you relate to yourself and others. Whether you are questioning long-held beliefs, rebuilding your spiritual identity, or finding your voice as an LGBTQ+ person.
My path to becoming a therapist is both professional and personal. I understand what it means to question long-held beliefs, rebuild trust in yourself, and search for a sense of belonging. My experiences in advocacy, education, and community work have deepened my appreciation for how healing happens when people feel seen and accepted for who they truly are.
