Therapy Begins With Being Seen.
My work is grounded in curiosity, compassion, creativity, and a deep belief in the connection between mind and body.
From Movement to Therapy
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 15 years as a professional dancer and educator, beginning my career with the New York City Opera at Lincoln Center and later performing and teaching internationally. Dance introduced me to somatics—the experience of the body from within—and shaped my understanding that our emotions, memories, and ways of protecting ourselves aren’t experienced through the mind alone. Learning to listen to the body became foundational to how I understand healing. That work eventually led me to earn a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and work across clinical, hospital, and higher education settings before opening my private practice. Today, I bring together psychotherapy, somatics, and the creativity and curiosity of my artistic background.
My approach is collaborative and relational. You are the expert on your own experience. I’m here to listen, offer perspective, gently challenge you when helpful, and support you in developing greater trust in yourself.
My Approach
My work as a therapist has been shaped by more than 15 years in the arts and education, my own experiences with mental health and grief, and a belief that meaningful therapy should make room for the whole person. I work primarily with gay, bisexual, and transgender men, particularly creatives, and thoughtful, introspective people who want to understand themselves more deeply.
My approach is warm, curious, and collaborative. I’ll meet you where you are while gently challenging you when it can help you move toward the life you want.
You don’t need to arrive with the right words or a perfectly defined problem.
You can simply arrive as you are.
You Don't Have to Explain the Basics Here.
Being a gay, bisexual, or trans man can mean navigating complicated messages about masculinity, belonging, relationships, sexuality, family, and what it means to be fully yourself.
Those experiences can leave lasting impressions.
My goal is to offer a space where you don't have to perform, prove yourself, or spend your session explaining the basics of your identity before we can get to what actually matters. Your identity isn't the problem.
HOW I WORK
I believe you are the expert on your own lived experience. That doesn't mean therapy is passive. I'll listen deeply, offer perspective and tools, and gently challenge patterns when doing so can help you move toward the person and life you want.
Warm. Curious. Collaborative.
Warm
A therapy relationship built on compassion, openness, and genuine human connection.
Curious
We explore your experiences without judgment, making room for complexity and contradiction.
Collaborative
We work together. I won't tell you who you should become.
