Are you questioning your gender or sexual orientation, struggling with sexual behavior or substance use that feels out of control, or feeling deeply alone in relationships? You may want closeness while also expecting to be rejected, misunderstood, shamed, or abandoned. Maybe you're wanting to overcome past experiences that were traumatic. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-doubt, you've come to the right place. I offer a place where we can slow things down, talk honestly about what you’re experiencing, and begin to untangle these patterns and struggles together—so you don’t have to hold them on your own.
In our sessions, we stay with what’s happening moment by moment, tracking emotions and body sensations as they shift. Familiar relational patterns often emerge between us in safe, contained ways, and our connection becomes an essential part of your healing. Being met with steadiness and care allows new emotional experiences to take shape and be felt.
As a cisgender queer male, I bring lived experience and an understanding of holding intersecting identities—some privileged, some marginalized. I stay attentive to how your own identities shape your experience as well. My style is warm, engaged, direct, and collaborative. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out to me for a free consultation today!

I primarily use AEDP, a relational and experiential approach that helps us work with emotions as they arise in real time rather than only talking about them intellectually. I pay close attention to shifts in feeling, the body, and the therapy relationship to help you feel more understood, connected, and less alone in what you're carrying.
