My typical clients struggle with shame and perfectionism, often preventing them from living fulfilling lives. When stuck in shame, people may question if they're “good enough” in multiple areas of their lives, which creates a cycle of shame that is difficult to get out of alone. I specialize in areas of insecure attachment, attachment/family trauma, CPTSD, grief and loss, sex and gender, obsession/rumination, and anxiety. I am trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and am certified in EMDR.
Most clients describe me as a warm, sincere, and humorous therapist who offers gentle challenge to grow. Together, we create a safe space to work through and explore ways of interacting with others that keep you stuck in dissatisfaction. Demographics of my clients tend to include LGBTQ+ folx, poly/open relationships, straight men, adoptees, and South Asians.
Whether you have years of experience or this is your first time considering it, therapy can seem daunting. However, I am here to affirm that you are taking an important, brave step towards feeling healed, fulfilled, and satisfied in life.

Groups
Group Therapy for Gay and Bisexual Men-Online only
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.
