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

I specialize in therapy for gay men—individuals and couples—helping them navigate challenges like low self-esteem, religious trauma, and relationship struggles.

 

Together, we’ll explore and understand the underlying patterns affecting your life and relationships. Through an affirming, strengths-based approach, I’m here to help you work through old wounds, learn to really trust yourself, and build confidence that feels true to who you are. My approach blends clinical insight with lived experience and spiritual depth to help individuals and couples set boundaries and create deeper, more fulfilling connections—with others and more importantly, with themselves.

​

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, imposter syndrome, or seeking deeper meaning, I’m here to help you live authentically. Ready to take the next step? Let's connect today.

​

Areas of Expertise: ​

​

  • Confronting Relationship Issues and Low Self-Esteem

  • Healing from Religious Trauma and Societal Pressures

  • Overcoming Anxiety, Imposter Syndrome, and Self-Doubt

  • Building Confidence and Cultivating Authenticity

  • Internalized Homophobia, Identity, Spirituality & More

​

How We Work Together

​

In our work together, we'll explore the underlying patterns and unconscious dynamics influencing your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Through this process, we’ll gain insight into past experiences that may be impacting your present life. My role is to help you make sense of these patterns, uncover deeper understanding, and foster meaningful, lasting change. Whether in-person or online, I’ll guide you through this transformative journey toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.
