Psychotherapy

I specialize in working with gay men—both individuals and couples—who are ready to confront the challenges holding them back, from relationship issues and low self-esteem to the effects of religious trauma, self-acceptance struggles, and societal pressures. If you're tired of feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure about your path, I can help. Together, we'll break through old patterns, build self-esteem, and cultivate real confidence. Whether you're navigating anxiety, past trauma, seeking more meaning, or overcoming imposter syndrome, you deserve to live authentically. I'm here to guide you toward that freedom.

​

In our work together, we’ll explore the underlying patterns and dynamics that may be influencing your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. By gaining insight into past experiences, we can understand how they’re impacting your present life. My role is to help you make sense of these patterns, uncover deeper understanding, and support you in creating lasting change.

​

It’s not uncommon for gay men to carry the weight of past pain—often consciously or unconsciously—leading to self-doubt and disconnection. An affirming, strengths-based approach fosters resilience, restores self-trust, and supports long-term growth. If you’re ready to create the life you desire and deserve, I invite you to reach out today.
