With over twenty years of experience in primary care, acute medical settings, hospice, and palliative care, I help clients navigate life’s toughest moments with clarity and compassion. As a gay, LGBTQ+-affirming therapist, I offer a safe, inclusive space for exploring identity, relationships, stress, and emotional wellbeing.
My approach blends CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based therapy to help you reduce distress, understand patterns, and move toward what truly matters to you. I also specialize in medical trauma, chronic illness, caregiver stress, grief, and end-of-life support including advanced care planning and hospice transition.
Clients describe my style as warm, steady, and collaborative. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, identity questions, or medical challenges, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Together, we’ll build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and help you feel grounded and supported.
