If you’ve spent much of your life hiding your true self—shaping who you are to fit what you think others want—you may be feeling isolated and disconnected. It’s easy to get caught in the cycle of trying to belong by morphing into someone you're not, but this often leads to even more loneliness. In truth, the key to breaking free from this pattern is reconnecting with the full range of your emotions—your sadness, anger, joy, excitement, and everything in between. By embracing and expressing these feelings, you can rediscover who you truly are, find deeper connection, and create a life that feels authentic and real.
I help my clients confront their lives head-on. Together, we’ll dive deep into the roots of your anxiety, your isolation, and your fear of being seen. We will uncover what’s truly driving you—beyond the people-pleasing, beyond the idea of "belonging"—and help you live your life authentically, with vibrance and excitement.
This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about real, lasting change—about shifting your mindset, rewriting your story, and reconnecting with your purpose. If you’re ready to stop playing the role of the people-pleaser and start living authentically, let’s talk. You’ve done the hard part by getting this far. Now, let’s work together, reach out today.

Group Therapy for Gay and Bisexual Men-Online only

Adam MacDonald

Gay, bisexual, and queer men face distinct challenges in connecting emotionally with other men. Struggling with societal expectations, it is easy to fall into isolation or unfulfilling relationships. Processing the “here and now” interpersonal dynamics in group therapy, men may find a safe space to redefine their own ways of relating, enabling them to form genuine connections in which they feel celebrated for who they are. This is why I created this online group for gay, bisexual, pansexual, and queer-identified men who want to grow in their connection to themselves and others.
