Early on, many LGBTQ+ people learn to hide who they truly are, and this can create a sense of isolation, loneliness, and confusion. The aim of therapy, then, is to realize a healthy, true sense of comfort and authenticity, positioned within one's unique identities. I specialize in working with a range of LGBTQ+ identified persons, and welcome all gender and sexual identities and expressions in my practice.

For those who move through the world presenting as male or masculine, the ability to inhabit masculinity in an authentic, healthy way can be difficult. Our society's gender roles are highly prescriptive, and developing a true comfort with one's gender expression and identity is not without obstacles. Therapy provides a space to explore, question, experiment, and challenge your preconceived and desired gender roles and expectations.

We all must experience stress and anxiety as part of our existence, but modern-day society can completely overwhelm us with its demands. I trust that my clients are experts of their own lives – capable of not just coping, but thriving. Person-Centered and Humanistic approaches should offer genuineness on the part of the therapist, honest feedback, support, encouragement, and ample kindness.

The stories we tell ourselves about our ability and worth matter. Our knee-jerk reactions to situations and well-rehearsed internal beliefs about ourselves matter. Examining these aspects of your life allows you to not only build awareness of how they shape your experience, but lets you and I begin to re-frame your emotions, thoughts, and actions in a more helpful, fair, realistic, and goal-directed way.

I focus on looking for the good in your life. What is already working well for you? What do you want to see more of in your day-to-day? You contain a multitude of strengths and qualities that have already gotten you this far. Therapy should be about uncovering answers and finding ways to take small, actionable steps toward larger, meaningful changes that lean on your already existing strengths.

Anxiety is the most common mental health problem in the United States. Almost 1 in 5 people struggle with anxiety, but only about a third of those ever get professional support. Fortunately, anxiety is highly treatable! Anxiety is part of the human condition, but suffering with it does not have to be.
