When struggles with our most intimate relationships feel all-consuming, it can be helpful to invite an outside perspective to create some room for new possibilities and hope. I am passionate about helping couples, partners, and family members become unstuck and create a deeper and stronger connection with each other.

I work with individuals, and relationships and people that struggle to effectively communicate their needs. Because of how they were brought up, or conditioned through experience, they might have vastly different ways of showing up in relationships, especially through conflict. We all want to work on what drives our behavior so that we can better understand ourselves and each other. This allows us to be vulnerable with one another and experience our real selves, so we can connect and love on a much deeper and more meaningful and satisfying level.

Do you struggle to feel seen or often feel alone? Do you have a longing to connect but struggle to feel it? If you want to navigate your symptoms of anxiety and depression or explore your relationship patterns, I encourage you to reach out today. Attachment trauma lives in emotional intimacy. We need a safe other to process tangled feelings of abandonment and other experiences. Therapy can uncouple the aloneness of your experiences to make way for deep transformation and connection. Through this process you will learn how to show up more fully in yourself and feel more confident in the world.

Your life journey as a gay person is full of unique joys and challenges. Most of us never learned how to be gay (and happy). I get it. But know this: you can create the life you want. You can find your chosen family, heal the past, overcome shame find your passion and learn to finally love yourself at any age. And you don't have to trek up this mountain alone. As a gay counselor, my passion is helping fellow gay people develop their own toolkits to overcome anxiety, heal and thrive. As a gay man I've tackled similar mountains in my life using Cognitive Behavior Therapy and tools that work. If you are ready, I'd be honored to help.

Many people experience a deep sense of longing often described as a feeling of emptiness. What we use to fix or fill that emptiness can begin addictive processes like alcoholism, love addiction, and codependency. My approach is to meet that longing with compassion, understanding and love. Often the problem that causes us discomfort is an old way of coping that a part of us believes we need. Together we find the meaning that is generating or keeping the presenting symptom or problem in place and then move to swiftly create positive lasting change.

We all experience speed bumps during our life journey. Though it may seem we are "lost"unsure of I believe the powers we are looking for are inside YOU! One simply needs to be validated, and to strengthen the emotional "muscles" that have grown weak--just as we exercise our bodies and our minds, we must exercise our emotional I truly believe we can not experience long term health unless we pay close attention to our Mind, Body and Spirit--the Emotional; our humanness. when we honor our truths, we will achieve our Authentic Self! I look forward to helping guide you towards your personal, goals. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF YOU

*Offering phone and video sessions* Reaching out for help when we are suffering can be extremely difficult. It takes courage to seek out support when we are experiencing symptoms related to internal or external conflict. I believe our symptoms are gifts inviting us to explore more deeply our connection or lack thereof to ourselves and others and provide opportunity for growth. I see myself as a facilitator in your understanding of the meaning of these messages in order to enable healing. Sometimes these signs present themselves as uncomfortable or painful experiences such as shame, blame, loneliness, pain, anger and anxiety.
