I would describe my approach as collaborative, drawing from person-centered, feminist, and existential approaches. I believe that everyone is the expert in their own lives.

I have a special interest in serving communities who have traditionally felt alienated from professional mental health practices. This includes (but is not limited to) queer, trans, disabled/chronically ill, EMN/polyamorous, kink/BDSM, and non-white communities.

The human experience can be a complex and confusing burden to exist within at times.

I identify as a gay/queer cisgender male, as an addict/alcoholic in long-term recovery, and as a therapist with over 15 years of experience in the mental health profession. I would be honored to share space, listen, and provide guidance while you traverse your own life’s highs, lows, and everything in between.

I am motivated by the liberatory potential of the therapeutic relationship, for the individual and the systems they inhabit. Many of us are overwhelmed. It can be difficult to identify our purpose in life and find the motivation to show up every day. So many of us are feeling crowded by our increasing responsibilities in an uncertain world, by the feeling that we're drowning in information but have no access to wisdom or a sense of meaning. I am curious about your life experiences and how those experiences have informed the way you respond to life’s uncertainties. Together, we can discover answers to the unasked questions.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of meaningful change in therapy. My practice is rooted in collaboration and co-creation, where I work with individuals and couples to release patterns that no longer serve them and discover new ways to nurture more fulfilling relationships to themselves and others.

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
