Welcome! You might be struggling with relationship troubles, big life changes, or substance use, and that it's difficult trying to cope and get by. As a curious, compassionate psychotherapist, I specialize in helping those facing mood, trauma, addiction or men's health issues. I offer a unique style in a warm and humorous space, often to LGBQ/TGNB folks and their allies. I understand that everyone brings their own culture and perception of their needs, so I start by meeting you right where you are. We’ll explore ways to find relief, gain clarity about your feelings and experiences, and develop new strategies to face your challenges.
I bring specialty expertise as a queer trauma specialist and educator extensively trained in psychodynamic therapy. Treatment is creatively and carefully cultivated for your experience. I aim to earn your trust, explore where you want to go and create a safe space to move towards a more peaceful self, open to taking on life with resilience and fulfillment.
Seeking help is an incredible first step towards change. I know the process of finding a therapist that can match you in this sea of options can be overwhelming. To make it easier, I welcome you to call, email or head to my website to learn more and book a free consult so we can chat more about how we can make therapy work for you.
