Being truly heard and seen are two of the most healing experiences we can ever have. Being able to share authentically ourselves with another person, without judgement, is a gift that keeps on giving.

 

Do you feel truly heard and seen in your relationships? Are you out of the closet, but do you still feel guilt or shame about your identity? Are you sober curious or are you tired of anesthetizing your pain with drugs and alcohol? Have you been harmed by religion, but want to connect more spiritually? Do you feel trapped in a pattern of choices that, while you recognize aren’t supportive, you continue making despite the negative consequences? I can relate. I’ve been there.

​

I'm a humanistic and client-centered LGBTQ-affirmative therapist. I look at each of my clients through an affirmative and humanistic lens. Meaning that I see the problem as the problem and not the person.

 

I specialize in LGBTQ affirmative psychology with a primary focus on adult gay men. I also specialize in working with people who specifically want spirituality to be a resource in their therapy.

​

I use a combination of both Western and Eastern philosophies in my therapeutic approach, such as Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Depth Psychology, Positive Psychology, Energy Psychology, and Humanistic Psychology.
