THERAPY SERVICESWhat We Can Work Through Together
Therapy isn't about fixing you. It's about understanding you—your experiences, your patterns, your relationships, and the hopes you have for your life.
I offer a thoughtful, affirming approach for gay, bisexual, and transgender men navigating challenges that can affect how they feel, connect, and experience themselves.
Trauma & Grief
Healing doesn't require forgetting.Trauma and grief can shape how you relate to yourself, your body, your relationships, and the world around you. Together, we can make space for painful experiences, losses, rejection, and the lives you thought you would have.
Relationships
Build relationships that feel more like you.Whether you're navigating intimacy, communication, attachment, boundaries, or changing expectations, therapy can help you understand the patterns that shape your relationships and create space for deeper connection.
Therapy for the Experiences That Shape YouAnxiety & Depression
Understanding what exists beneath the surface.Anxiety and depression can affect far more than your mood. We can explore patterns of overwhelm, disconnection, sadness, self-criticism, and feeling stuck while developing greater awareness and tools for moving forward.
ADHD & Bipolar Disorder
Understanding your patterns can change how you experience your life.Therapy can support greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, self-trust, and practical strategies for navigating the challenges that can accompany ADHD or bipolar disorder.
Identity & Belonging
You shouldn't have to choose between belonging and being yourself.For queer and trans men, identity can intersect with family expectations, masculinity, sexuality, shame, body image, rejection, and belonging. Therapy can be a place to explore these experiences without judgment.
Self-Worth & Authenticity
Move from performing to being.Years of adapting, achieving, hiding, or trying to fit in can make it difficult to know what you genuinely want. Together, we can explore the beliefs and patterns that keep you disconnected from yourself
HOW I WORKMind. Body. Experience.
My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+-affirming, and body-centered.
Rather than relying only on talking or intellectual insight, we pay attention to what your body has learned from your experiences and what it may still be holding.

Somatic Psychotherapy

Couples Therapy
Your relationship can be a place for growth, not just conflict.
Relationships can bring up attachment patterns, expectations, fears, communication difficulties, and old wounds. Couples therapy provides a space to slow down those patterns, understand what is happening between you, and create more honest and connected ways of relating

Therapeutic Models
I help clients find relief from anxiety and depression rooted in trauma by tailoring therapy to their unique needs. My approach supports individuals in processing past experiences so they no longer dominate the present. Together, we develop tools to manage unhelpful thought patterns and foster self-soothing, empowering clients to not just cope—but thrive.
Approaches include:
Somatic Psychotherapy, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Expressive Arts Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Practices, Trauma-Informed and Person-Centered Care, Body-Centered and Nervous System–Informed Work, Grief-Informed Therapy, LGBTQIA+-Affirming and Culturally Responsive Therapy.
Somatic and Expressive Arts-informed therapy
Somatic and expressive arts–informed therapy centers the body as a source of wisdom and healing. Through gentle movement, breath, sensation, and creative expression, therapy supports awareness, emotional processing, and release without relying solely on words. This approach invites curiosity, self-expression, and embodiment, allowing healing to unfold in ways that feel natural, spacious, and accessible.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured form of psychotherapy developed to treat PTSD and other trauma-related conditions. It uses bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements—to help the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity and promoting healing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used, evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. While commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, CBT is also effective for a range of mental and physical health concerns, empowering clients with practical tools to manage challenges more effectively.
LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy
LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy is grounded in respect, safety, and understanding. Your identity is honored—not questioned—and therapy offers a supportive space to explore your experiences openly. Rather than treating identity as the problem, the work focuses on healing the effects of stress, trauma, and marginalization so you can feel more at ease being yourself.
Grief-informed therapy
Grief-informed therapy honors loss in all its forms—death, change, identity, relationships, and the life you thought you would have. Therapy offers space to move at your own pace, tend to what hurts, and integrate grief without pressure to “move on.” The focus is on support, meaning-making, and restoring connection to yourself.
Person-centered and trauma-informed therapy
Person-centered, trauma-informed therapy is rooted in safety, collaboration, and respect for your lived experience. Therapy moves at your pace, honoring how past experiences have shaped your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. Rather than asking “what’s wrong with you,” this approach centers understanding, choice, and empowerment—creating space for healing that feels steady, supportive, and deeply human.
