I work with many different presenting concerns including anxiety disorders, identity development, relationship issues, anger management, addiction recovery support, life transitions, grief, trauma, multicultural issues, and concerns about sexuality.
My areas of clinical focus are around men's issues and with members of the LGBTQ community. I'm committed to providing a safe and affirming environment where you can process your feelings, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable. I'm not the kind of psychologist who sits silently and nods while you do all the work. I'm an active therapist and work collaboratively to help you increase self-awareness and identify a healthier path. Additionally, I draw on different theoretical approaches to adapt my work to your needs, but work primarily from a relational psychodynamic perspective.

Queer folks move through society differently than cis-het folks, and that comes with both difficulty and a whole lot of beauty. My speciality lies in working with members of the queer, trans, and gender-diverse communities. I strive to create the safest, most affirming, and empowering space for you, where you feel comfortable bringing in and exploring your most genuine, true, and full self. I recognize that our pasts create the lenses through which we see and navigate the world. What do you say we examine those lenses, understand how they came to be, and polish them up so they can help you see more clearly and better serve you?

I work with a wide range of adolescents and adults, in particular those in the LGBTQIA community who are seeking to understand and accept themselves. This process involves self-discovery, understanding and self-acceptance. We can work together through issues such as shame, guilt, low self - esteem, school bullying, verbal/physical abuse, discrimination and the lack of family and societal support. We can also navigate possible conflicts of spirituality and personal values with sexual orientation/gender identity.
