Want to be more authentic? As a gay man, I understand how difficult it can be to understand and feel confident in your identity. I bring that lived experience and empathy to my therapeutic work. Gender identity, sex and sexuality, relationships, body image and self-esteem, along with depression and anxiety that tangle with them, are things that I can help you work through. My goal is to help you be more kind to yourself, and to help you find your authentic self so you can live the life you want.
I offer a therapeutic relationship that is focused in building your strengths and self-esteem. By using techniques from acceptance and commitment, CBT/trauma informed, and narrative approaches, I offer a space that is free from oppressive ideologies, acceptance and open to whatever presents for you in session.
Therapy can be intimidating but it doesn't have to be, and I hope that I can be someone who has the privilege to assist you. You deserve to show the world who you are and I'm here when you're ready to take that first step. When you're ready, reach out to schedule!

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, sexual orientation and/or gender identity. In the first few sessions, I work with clients to lay out all the puzzle pieces and look at them before we begin to piece the puzzle together. Most clients feel seen and heard during sessions, and find improvements within the first month.
