About My Clients

I work individually with adolescents and adults, especially those from marginalized communities, by providing counseling that is focused on the client and the environment they live in. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, self-image, and relationships; and with clients who are questioning their sexuality, gender, and self-expression. My role is to help you become the most authentic version of yourself and I am honored to be part of that journey with you.

My Background and Approach

I believe in collaboration and creating equality in my work with clients. I use a client-centered approach to the work that I do which allows me to use a variety of approaches that are tailored to each individual in order to address each individual's unique experiences. As a counselor, I am striving to understand my clients and their world. Clients have shared that they feel comfortable with me, can trust me, and that they feel heard and respected. Clients have also shared that I have helped them make sense of the experiences they have had. I also enjoy bringing some fun and laughter to sessions. It is as important to celebrate the positives and successes in life as it is to explore the dark and the struggles.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a gay man, I bring my own experiences and knowledge of what it is like to live in a world that is not always the most supportive of being your true self. I am aware of and sensitive to the struggles that LGBTQIA+ individuals have but I also know that my experiences are unique, and not the same as yours. I am always learning and being educated to provide better services for clients and to be a better member of the community.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
