My mission is to help gay men thrive. If you’re like most gay men I know, you can easily find yourself feeling insecure, disconnected and disheartened. Everyone seems to have money, success, good looks—and as much sex as they want. But despite external success and validation, many gay men feel insecure. We struggle to find and navigate romantic relationships. Oftentimes we find ourselves just looking to escape into some distraction or substance. We want to feel confident and fulfilled, but we don’t know how. The truth is we're still recovering from years of being told by our community and culture that we just weren't good enough.
When I first sought therapy myself, a lot of my experiences as a gay man went unaddressed—especially when it came to sex and dating. That's why I've developed my own method to help gay men live their best lives. My approach synthesizes the best of several therapeutic modalities, including EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy.
We can start with a 15 minute consultation call. These calls are free of charge and will hopefully provide us an opportunity to get to know one another. I can give you a sense of how I work, but more importantly, you can see if I’m the right fit for you. Then we can craft a strategic plan to help you achieve your goals.

Groups
Gay Men’s Trauma Therapy Group
This group will provide a safe space for gay men to heal from trauma. Unfortunately, gay men are more likely to experience trauma than straight men. And, it's often difficult for gay men to find a space to begin to unpack their traumatic experiences. That's what you'll experience in this group: a safe environment to recover from trauma. In fact, many folks find that the healing process is quicker in a group setting, rather than traditional individual therapy. Interested to learn more?
