It is my belief that seeking help is a courageous step that should be commended. Therapy offers us an opportunity to get to know ourselves, and provides a safe and comfortable space to think about the ways we can make our lives better. In this space, we come to understand the deeper meanings of the problems we face, gain the emotional tools to solve these problems, and become more confident in the decisions we make. Therapy can help to slow life down, and helps us find a place in it that fits who we are.

I help lgbtqia+ clients in their 20s & 30s build closer relationships, process traumas, and live with greater ease and freedom. Does your inner conflict affect your relationships? Is anxiety making it difficult to form relationships? Is it hard for you to trust? Maybe you want more loving connections, but you're stuck feeling lonely and isolated. That’s okay. In a cis-hetero-patriarchal world, many of us have survived interpersonal trauma. And together, we can handle that. I have a gentle, compassionate approach. I combine psychodynamic talk therapy with EMDR to help you work through your past and create more secure connections now.

Waitlist for new clients
For everyone there are patterns in our relationships with ourselves and with others that often go unnoticed and unexplored. Through a psychodynamic and trauma-informed approach, I work with clients to identify these patterns and to develop insight so they can experience more emotional growth and well-being. Change can be hard and we often use avoidance as an ineffective coping mechanism.

When a client comes to me for therapy, they are seeking some way to not just share their problems but to find solutions and remedies based on their own effort. The point having therapy is for the individual to be able to find their own answer based on what works for them and created on their terms. The reason that people would want to achieve this autonomous feeling is because this develops into a security that the individual can feel confident in themselves to rely on themselves when tackling life’s problems and everyday obstacles.

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. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

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 a male therapist. 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, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. 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.
