As a gay man, I validate and support clients’ identities, sexuality, and spiritual beliefs. I was raised LDS and understand the cultural, familial, social, and spiritual complexities that can arise from growing up in that environment. I focus on helping clients heal from shame-based trauma, improve their relationship skills, and build a life that is consistent with their sexuality, gender identity, goals, and values.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, clients who struggle to have meaningful relationships, those with addiction-related issues, individuals in mixed-orientation marriages, and people who experience OCD, anxiety, and depression.

Patterns matter, and together we will explore yours. My goal is to provide you a space where you can feel valued and understood, explore who you really are and what you want from life, learn how to trust yourself, and learn the skills you need to move forward. Your heart will be our guide.
