I believe that the deepest healing happens when therapy is rooted in connection, empathy, and compassion, so my first goal is to create an environment in which you feel understood and supported. Likewise, I believe we are truly whole when our most important relationships are thriving – including our relationship with ourselves. Strengthening these relationships is a primary focus of my therapeutic approach, along with the attainment of embodiment, mindfulness, and freedom. I work from a psychodynamic and experiential perspective to guide you towards an experience of authenticity and alignment with yourself, others, and the world.

Finding the right therapist is sometimes difficult. Therapy starts with finding someone who matches your personality and developing a relationship with an individual that you can trust. I believe in learning about who you are, the complete picture, and helping you define and achieve the goals that are important to you. No judgment, just a safe place to work through things you would otherwise bottle up. I will challenge you to feel things, learn to choose better paths even when normally you might choose the same old thing that makes you feel stuck.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Doctor of Social Work specializing in adult men, LGBTQ+ individuals, and anyone who values a no-BS, results-driven approach.
Life can be messy, unpredictable, and—let’s be real—sometimes a complete disaster. You might feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, stress, or past trauma, constantly battling self-doubt, expectations, or the fear of never being enough. Maybe relationships feel draining, or you struggle to set boundaries. You want clarity, direction, and real tools to move forward—not just someone nodding along. You need a therapist who gets it, challenges you, and helps you break old patterns so you can build a life that actually works for you.

It can be profoundly painful to embody an identity that our culture strives to suppress, whether you’re queer, trans, have a larger body, or otherwise do not fit societal expectations. Too often we are pressured to conform ourselves to narrow and ultimately unattainable standards of who we should be and how we should live. Maybe you feel inadequate, ashamed, alone, or even guilty about the attraction you feel, the body you live in, or questioning your beliefs. You’re looking for a space to unburden yourself, to safely explore beyond what you've been told is acceptable, where you don’t have to make yourself small.

Feeling like you need “a little something to take the edge off”? You’re not alone. Many navigate life’s challenges in silence, unsure if they’re struggling with addiction — and that’s okay.

Many clts often present with problems they have been suppressing in so many different ways. At Healing Touch Services I offer an approach called OARS/MI. This approach allows active listening so the clt knows they are in a safe, peaceful, non-judgmental space. My therapy provides positive programs developed by the clt with the therapist helping guide you through by using coping skills that are suitable for your need. When people know they are being heard and helped, yet being empowered to make their own healthy decisions, it presents a sense of self-respect and dignity to let you reclaim your value and worth. We Never Give Up on You

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
