Welcome.

Relief is here

Your need to be seen and heard for being authentically you is universal and valid – and those are exactly the needs you can expect to be met in therapy with me. You’ll feel understood and gain clarity about what’s going on for you now and what to do next.

  • Playfulness and humor lighten the weight of serious problems.
  • Collaboration leads to connection and meaning.
  • Kindness and compassion help create healing experiences.

I am a gay and male identified therapist who specializes in improving intimate relationships, job-related stress relief, LGBTQ+ issues, and healing childhood trauma. I can help with a variety of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. My greatest strength and passion is helping people make peace with their past.

What makes me different from other therapists? I don’t only listen compassionately and reflect back insights and ideas. My training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people get to the root of things very quickly – and leads to long lasting positive life changes.
