About My Clients

I primarily work with individuals and couples, focusing on LGBTQ+ matters, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships. I recognize that therapy can be challenging and I strive myself on meeting my clients where they are at and exploring concerns at a comfortable pace. Creating a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable being themselves is my priority in my work.

My Background and Approach

I have experience working in community mental health and in school-based therapy. While working in community mental health, I worked primarily with individuals who suffered from severe and persistent mental health concerns, aiding these clients on a wide spectrum; from housing and food insecurities to providing one-on-one therapy. While working in a school-based setting, I was working with middle schoolers, focusing around identity formation and emotional regulation. In my current work, my focus is on the LGBTQ+ community, relationships, and general mental health concerns. As a queer man, I prioritize creating a space for clients to show up as they are and present as their full self.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a queer man, I prioritize creating a space for clients to show up as they are and present as their full self. As I mentioned earlier, therapy can challenging and my goal is to try and make this process of healing as smooth as possible.
