Many of the people finding their way to my practice are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them; they and are ready to look deeper. They may be navigating depression, the impact of past trauma, or ongoing relational stress. They often carry a deep longing to feel more grounded, understood, and at ease in their lives and relationships. What they want most is not just symptom relief, but a sense of safety, clarity, and the ability to move through life with greater resilience, self-trust, and self-compassion.

Currently, I mostly work with complex trauma and LGBTQIA+ folks, using Internal Family Systems. During my career, I worked with both individual and group settings, including adults with people living with HIV, veterans, incarcerated people and transgender/gender variant individuals. These populations included people with depression, bi-polar disorder, personality disorders, anxiety, PTSD and depression. As a proud bisexual, trans man, I love to work with my LGBT communities. I celebrate kinky and poly people. I strive to be an imperfect ally to non-binary trans people and people of color.

"Life is difficult." That's a Scott Peck quote. Healing begins just by embracing this quote. Three simple words, but on a bad day, very true, right? Sunny days seem inaccessible. You've already taken the first step, which is realizing that the listening ear of a therapist just might be helpful. After graduating from Boston U, my emphasis became adolescents, family relationships, and women's issues. This is my practice emphasis, but my door is open to all who are interested in growth and self-reflection.

My goal is to help clients with issues that affect their mental health and well-being. I believe that the relationship between myself as a counselor and my client is just as important as the content we discuss. It is difficult to see people struggle with issues that cause emotional turmoil; and I feel honored that I can walk with people through their healing journey. I love helping people learn skills they can use to function better and promote positive changes in their lives.
