Therapy with me is intended to be supportive across experiences and goals: childhood/family of origin, anxiety and stress, depression, trauma, grief, career, relationships, substance use, self-esteem, spirituality, and sex/sexuality (identity, exploration, interests, sexual concerns/problems).
Moving toward what matters in your 20s, 30s, and 40s can be confusing and overwhelming. You might find yourself with a sense of lost time and regret, struggling to move forward from your past, and dealing with self-doubt and criticism. Uncertainty about your relationships and who you are as an individual add to the challenge. If you’re longing to make deeper changes and become more present, honest, and engaged in your life, adding in therapeutic support can be beneficial. I primarily work with adults, with a focus on LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies, gay/bi/queer men, as well as individuals wanting a sex positive therapist.

Anxiety, depression, grief/ loss are just a few reasons why people look to therapy for support.
Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. Our attitudes and beliefs may come from our childhood, our experiences and maybe what we have learned from others. After working in many areas of mental health, I have gained experience in assisting people in figuring out where thoughts and feelings may be coming from and the best methods to improve them. Everyone finds that their overall mental health improves and they create a better version of themselves. I have been married for 14 years and have three young kids.

I can help clients with school-based behavioral issues, grief/ loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, foster care process for children, family therapy, trauma, adjustment disorders, and parenting.
The ups and downs of life can cause issues, which if not addressed, can cause mental health problems. Therapy is a place to learn how to transform our internal dialogue during those challenging times in our life. It can mean confronting what we have typically avoided, in a safe and reaffirming environment where science-based interventions reinforce resiliency. I believe that empathy and compassion combined with evidence-based interventions can help you develop coping skills that facilitate growth to your person-centered goals. I use a gentle, non-judgmental, but direct approach, and provide a confidential and respectful environment.
