Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a passion for supporting and partnering with adults from underserved communities, including people suffering from alcohol and drug addiction, people living with HIV/AIDS, the LGBTQ+ community, and their allies. My preferred pronouns are he/him. When I’m not providing counseling services online through my private therapy practice, I’m working for a local non-profit community services agency empowering others to thrive and live their best lives.

My approach to therapy

Looking for an affirming therapist who offers culturally competent therapy for members of LGBTQ+ and other vulnerable communities? Need a trusted support to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space to talk openly? I am here for you. The mantra informing my approach to therapy is: “You are the expert of your own life!” Beyond talking about feelings, we will draw on evidence-based treatment methods and your own strength, resilience, and perseverance to facilitate lasting change.

What you can expect from me

I will tailor my approach to your unique needs. You will learn to build on your innate strengths and talents and begin a journey of exploration and discovery that will help you achieve your goals, aspirations, and objectives. To create a dynamic and healing therapy strategy, I use an eclectic mix of trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. As we work together, building the therapeutic alliance, my goal is to help you find the answers that have always been within you.
