As an out transgender man, I have the unique opportunity to look at issues from different perspectives. I believe in living as your authentic self, and I strive to help clients achieve that goal. I have been in the mental health field since 1996 and a licensed social worker since 2006.
I’m a general practitioner with a concentration on the LGBTQIA+ community with specialties in trauma informed therapy, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, childhood abuse, religious abuse, and gender dysphoria. I provide education for families with family members who are transitioning or have transitioned.
I provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy. My goal is to provide a safe, affirming, and welcoming space for clients to be themselves maybe for the first time without judgment. So when you're ready to feel better give me a call.

I use many different therapy modalities because therapy is not a one size fits all clients. We will explore what modality or modalities work best for you. During treatment you will learn healthy coping skills and how to boost your self-esteem, confidence, and self-acceptance.
