Your story matters.
Let’s understand it, together.

Therapy with me is about deepening your understanding of yourself—your emotions, your beliefs, your patterns, and how they shape your experiences. With greater self-understanding comes clarity, allowing you to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically. This clarity helps you build resilience, improve relationships, and live with greater intention and ease.

Hello and welcome

Starting therapy is a meaningful step—one that takes courage, hope, and a willingness to be honest with yourself. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, off-track in a relationship, or weighed down by shame or self-doubt, you’re not alone. I see therapy as a collaborative and deeply human process. It’s an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and begin a different kind of conversation with yourself—one that can lead to real change. I consider it a privilege to do this work and to accompany people on what is often a rich, challenging, and rewarding path of self-discovery.

Some questions and struggles seem to come up again and again—across age, background, or life stage. These are the places where people often start to look inward and ask: Who am I? Why do I feel stuck? What matters to me? I focus on the kinds of issues that many of us face at one point or another—questions of identity, relationships, creativity, emotional resilience, anxiety, and life transitions.

Therapy for Gay Men

Growing up in a straight-centered world often means learning to hide parts of yourself to stay safe. In therapy, we can explore how that history affects you today—including shame, self-doubt, and difficulty trusting your needs—in a space where your experience as a gay man is understood from the start.

My Approach

My approach integrates several therapeutic models, each offering a distinct lens for understanding how the mind moves through pain, growth, and change. Together, they help engage the emotional, cognitive, relational, and somatic dimensions of experience—so you can make sense of your inner world, deepen your self-understanding, and live with more clarity, connection, and choice.

 

In any given session, I may offer a reflection or interpretation, draw attention to a physical sensation, guide a visualization, or gently examine a belief that may be keeping you stuck. We might return to a formative moment or slow down to let an emotional experience fully emerge. Over time, the relationship itself becomes an active part of the work—a space where your story can be told, reexamined, and integrated.

 

When working with couples, I take an active stance—helping both partners feel seen while identifying and shifting patterns that block connection.

 

I welcome clients of all backgrounds and have particular experience working with gay men and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, you’re welcome here.

Therapy is a practical way to understand yourself, get unstuck, and feel better. But if you’re considering it for the first time, it’s normal to have questions. I’m here to help. A consultation is a good place to start.
