My website

I also have a great deal of experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, and in particular, with gay men. I found that, being a non-gay identified man who can be empathic and caring allowed me to form positive therapeutic relationships with my clients, most of whom had experienced some degree of rejection by their fathers / primary male caregivers. I have experience helping men navigate their unique challenges in finding a long-term partner, but am also educated on the ins and outs of Ethically Non Monogamous relationships. I also specialize in issues faced by physicians and other healthcare providers.

I specialize in anxiety disorders of all kinds – from social phobias to obsessive compulsive disorder to Generalized Anxiety Disorder and everything in between. Through the use of CBT and mindfulness, I can help you face your fears and cope with inevitable life stress.

If we have a consultation call, I'll let you know if I think I can help with the specific difficulties you're having. If I doubt my ability to help, then I'll help you find someone who can. Finding a therapist is challenging and time-consuming, as is becoming comfortable disclosing personal details. I'll do my best to ensure that you only do it once.

I am certified in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT,) which involves finding actionable ways to change your behavior and your thinking about issues that cause you distress. This approach is highly structured, and involves homework and tracking progress from session-to-session. We will likely be able to reduce how often you need to attend therapy within 2-4 months.
