My Approach to Therapy

I believe counseling is a collaborative process built on empathy and respect. You know yourself best, and I see myself as a partner to help you dig into what’s weighing on you. My goal is to meet you with compassion and care—and yes, some tough questions—to better understand your experience and needs. I work from a strengths-based lens, drawing from psychodynamic, person-centered, and narrative approaches. I also weave in mindfulness practices and cognitive strategies when they fit. My work is grounded in queer and feminist perspectives that honor all parts of your identity.

As a gay man, I understand firsthand what it means to navigate the world as a queer person, and I bring that lived experience into every session. I'm committed to honoring your journey toward self-acceptance, authenticity, and the life you want to live. Therapy works best when you can show up as your whole self, and I'm here to create that space with you
