As an ally, I advocate for your rights, and I am truly committed to creating an inclusive environment. Your identity is valid and celebrated in my therapeutic space.

We explore how to grieve the process of not being who we thought we should be or what others may expect, while moving towards self love and acceptance. As I gay male I can emphasize with ideal self images and how conditions of others can immobilize us. We can start to grief expectations of who we thought we should be, and move us forward to empowerment and life meaning in process work.

I believe that as people, we thrive when we fully live out who we are and when we experience connections that are embracing of our unique qualities. I understand that for many, including members of the LGBTQ2A+ community, opportunities for authentic connection and expression are oftentimes denied, minimized, and challenged, at various levels by various systems of oppression. As a therapist, it is my hope to create a safe and welcoming space in which you feel seen, heard, and appreciated so that together, we can explore your experiences and struggles, and help you to feel empowered in your authentic self and relationships.
