I work best with adults seeking to resolve developmental or complex trauma, manage anxiety, and navigate neurodivergent identity. My practice is deeply affirming for LGBTQIA+ clients and those undergoing gender exploration or significant life shifts. As a trans man and a dedicated trauma-informed clinician, I prioritize a therapeutic relationship where you don't have to explain the basics of your identity. We’ll use EMDR and evidence-based skills to unpack the past and build a stable, honest future. I provide real answers for real growth, not just "listening." Currently providing telehealth in Ohio and Massachusetts.
My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I integrate EMDR and other evidence-based, skills-focused approaches to support clients working through complex or developmental trauma. Whether you're unpacking the past or adjusting to something new, therapy with me is an honest, structured space to process your experiences safely and gain tools for relief.
I offer free 15-minute consultations to answer your questions about therapy and help you determine if I’m the right fit for you. You can email me directly to schedule a consultation. I offer afternoon and evening appointments via telehealth. In addition to therapy, I offer supervision to clinicians working toward independent licensure in Ohio.

I frequently work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma, but my experience spans a wide range of concerns and backgrounds. I believe treatment plans should be catered to the individual client and do not follow a templatized treatment plan. You can expect me to listen to your concerns and adapt treatment goals to suit your specific needs and welcome feedback.
