About My Clients

My ideal client craves a safe, supportive space for identity exploration or trauma. They seek validation, strategies for emotions/relationships, and aspire to heal, accept themselves, and find fulfillment. Despite facing an unwelcoming world, they yearn for authenticity. They're committed to self-discovery, growth, and investing in their well-being through therapy.

My Background and Approach

As a graduate of Northwestern University, I bring academic rigor and psychological expertise to my practice. My journey as an openly gay, HIV positive, cisgender male fuels my passion for supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and trauma survivors. With specialized training in LGBTQIA+ issues and trauma therapy, I offer a safe, understanding space for clients to explore their identities and experiences. My background equips me to provide tailored support, helping clients navigate challenges, manage emotions, and cultivate resilience. By integrating evidence-based techniques and a holistic approach to wellness, I empower clients to heal, embrace their authenticity, and thrive. My commitment to ongoing learning ensures that I stay at the forefront of therapeutic advancements, delivering the highest quality care. With me, clients not only gain a skilled therapist but also a compassionate ally on their journey to self-discovery and fulfillment.
