I am licensed in Texas and California and offer a combination of virtual and in-person sessions. My practice has the primary focus of working with gay and bi identifying men. I often work with men who wish to address depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use, sex, shame, dating, relationships, grief, and other challenges.
I offer individual sessions and relationship therapy. I am: Open Relationship Knowledgeable, Polyamory Knowledgeable, Transgender Knowledgeable, Feederism/Gainer Knowledgeable, Sex Positive, BDSM Positive, & Body Positive
It is important to me that you feel like I am a right fit for you and your needs. So, the first step is to contact me for a consultation appointment. If what I have to offer doesn't work for you, then I will do my best to find someone who can help. You are the main priority.

I'm glad that I know Josh. He is a combination of both relatability and brilliance mashed together. Clients can feel that their issues are understood, held with compassion, and then given possibilities for solutions to live life more fully.

My therapy style is very direct and proactive. I am highly empathetic but also do not sugarcoat in my approach. I think I provide a good balance between showing up in genuine connection and support while encouraging clients to let go of old ideas that do not serve them and consider new perspectives. Let me help you build a new toolbelt of healthier tools!
