Many people struggle with the belief that they are not good enough, and they subsequently conceal or suppress parts of themselves that they fear will alienate them from others. My primary task as a therapist is to create a safe and validating environment in which you can feel free to be your whole self, without fear of rejection or judgment. My goal is to recognize, understand, and honor each part of you, especially the parts that feel most vulnerable.

Approach Description: My approach to therapy is, first and foremost, collaborative, and I strive to create a unique therapeutic experience that is tailored to each client's specific needs. I view therapy as a team effort, with clients being the experts on themselves and me being the expert on psychological theory and interventions. As clients share their lives and their internal worlds with me, I will make a multitude of observations (e.g., themes arising across different contexts, patterns among relationships, connections between the past and present, etc.) and check in with clients to ensure these observations feel relevant and accurate. Through this process, both you and I will gain insight and a deeper understanding of factors that create distress for you, which will allow me to make precise and tailored recommendations on how to work toward your treatment goals. My primary theoretical foundation is in psychodynamic therapy, which emphasizes the role of past experiences and unconscious motivations on present-day experiences and behaviors. However, while this foundation might guide how I might conceptualize your distress, I adopt a "whatever works" approach when making recommendations and will draw from a multitude of theoretical frameworks to intervene in a way that I believe will be most suitable.

- Online Therapy Details: Teletherapy (Simple Practice telehealth platform)
My practice is fully virtual, and I meet with clients via a secure, HIPAA-compliant, teleconferencing system. I provide individual therapy to adult clients, and my primary specialties include LGBTQIA+ concerns, men's issues, early childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal/relationship concerns. In addition to individual therapy, I provide evaluations and referral letters for gender-affirming care. After practicing telehealth during the covid-19 pandemic and becoming licensed via PsyPact, which allows me to work virtually with clients across the country, I saw an opportunity to make LGBTQIA-affirming therapy available to clients who might otherwise not have local access, due to living in rural and/or conservative areas. This was the inspiration for opening my practice in 2022, and I have had the privilege of meeting and working with LGBTQIA+ adults, particularly gay and bisexual men, across the country.
