Great to meet you!

Are you a gay, bisexual, or queer-identified man who is feeling overwhelmed by questions around identity, your position or direction in life, or how to form meaningful and fulfilling connections with others? Do you find yourself distracted by racing or intrusive thoughts or struggling to find the motivation to make big life decisions or changes? Are you having issues in your romantic relationship(s) related to communication, intimacy, autonomy? These are the kinds of issues I navigate with my clients every day. I believe the key to overcoming these struggles begins with building a deep and honest understanding of yourself.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is is rooted in a relational and psychodynamic perspective. Through empathy and radical acceptance, I strive to reduce shame and boost your self-esteem by normalizing your experiences and maintaining hope and confidence in your progress until you can see and believe it for yourself.

What you can expect from our first session

I will meet you wherever you are in your journey and create a holding space for you to lay out the puzzle pieces of your life to better understand who you are and how they fit together. To tell me more about your needs and to see if we are a good fit to work together, request a free consultation today.
