Psychotherapy for Gay Men:
Healing, Growth, and Self-Acceptance

I work with gay men in West Hollywood and virtually throughout California. Many of the men I work with are high functioning and successful on the outside, but their unhealed inner world is running the show. That can look like anxiety, overwhelm, loneliness, struggle in relationships, substance use, or shame around sex. Some have religious trauma. Others feel inadequate, like they don't quite fit in. Therapy with me is collaborative and honest. The goal is lasting change in how you see yourself.​

 

I'm the Founder of A Road Trip to Love Therapy and author of Raising LGBTQ Allies. I help gay men understand themselves more fully and feel better in their relationships and daily life. My second book, Becoming Worthy, comes out in 2027.

​

Areas of Expertise: ​​

  • Relationships and self-worth

  • Religious trauma and family challenges

  • Anxiety, self-doubt, and people-pleasing

  • Identity, self-acceptance, and spirituality

  • Shame, internalized homophobia, substance use

​

How We Work Together​​

In our work together, we'll look at patterns and how your past is affecting your present. My role is to be an honest and collaborative partner in your growth.
