Finding a new therapist can be daunting. If you’re here, then life might be getting in the way. The old ways you used to cope might not feel good anymore. You might feel stuck and unsure where you are going. My job is to guide you towards change and help you un-believe false narratives about yourself that are holding you back. Much of my work is focused on working with LGBTQ+ people, self esteem and managing relationship issues. I also specialize in working with gay men who struggle with substances or addiction. Additionally, I work with co-occurring mental health conditions such as trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I believe in the human spirit and our natural capacity to grow, heal, and overcome limitations and challenges. My goal is to provide you with a safe atmosphere where you can feel secure enough to risk being vulnerable while mustering up the courage to overcome your own obstacles. I meet my clients where they are, tune into what they need, and work hard to help them solve the problems that originally brought them to me. My therapeutic style is best summed up as collaborative, supportive, goal oriented, and empathic.

If you’re from an environment that didn’t encourage talking about feelings, starting therapy is probably awkward and foreign to you. But there should be no shame or embarrassment about therapy. Many of us suffer from anxiety, depression, stressful life transitions, and relationship issues, etc., and could use a safe space to let out the stress and process the many things we have going on. With self-empowerment, exploring your identity & emotions, and identifying patterns of behavior and their triggers, I can help you prioritize yourself and in turn, find healthy ways to thrive in your personal, social, and professional life.

I have been a therapist for over 25 years working with adult clients around issues of mood disorders, trauma, personality disorders and relationship difficulties. I believe people have the power within themselves for change but sometimes need a facilitator and coach to help them find additional coping skills or to process something with an objective party. I offer empathy, experience and a non-judgmental stance in the therapeutic relationship. My style is eclectic depending on an individual’s needs, with foundations in DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing and best practice models for psychotherapy.

You have decided that you are in a place in your life where therapy could be helpful. While it may be daunting, talking with a therapist is an act of courage and an investment in your well-being. I am so proud of you for taking this first step and believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. My hope in working together is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where we can draw upon your strengths and explore behaviors, beliefs, and relationship patterns that no longer serve you.

Often, people come to us looking to explore psychological concerns in a sophisticated way. If they had past therapy, they were at times disappointed that it did not go deeper, as it left the greater meaning (the "roots") of their symptoms unexplored. As psychodynamic therapists, however, our goal is to see comprehensively, with thoughtful attention to the subtle depths and intricacies of your experience. In so doing, we can help to both resolve symptoms and impart meaning to your experiences, even those thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are often deemed painful or meaningless.

I am particularly interested in anxiety issues and how to help individuals with a more mindful approach to their symptoms, so that they are not repeating old habits and getting stuck in familiar negative situations.

In my work, the first goal is to create a safe and supportive environment that allows for greater understanding of the concerns, symptoms, and struggles that bring you to treatment. Change is possible with the willingness to explore one's inner life and contend with the conflicts inhibiting you from a greater sense of freedom. Psychotherapy/psychoanalysis is a demanding endeavor but the benefits are immeasurable!
