About My Clients
You are unique! Your story is yours and sharing your story sometimes is intimidating or maybe not. Either way, my experience with depression, anxiety, and trauma have allowed me the honor of working with individuals who have diverse backgrounds and needs – unique stories from unique people. My aim is to embrace you as you are at every meeting.
My Background and Approach
Problems can be ongoing, occasional, big or small, regardless of the kind of problem the solution is tailored for you through evidenced-based strategies, such as cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, or acceptance and commitment therapy. My experience with these strategies and other therapy approaches provides you with the tools for your journey.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My lived experience has also shaped the way I understand and practice psychotherapy. As a gay man and an only child who was born and raised in a blue-collar neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, I have experienced firsthand some of the challenges related to identity, relationships, belonging, and personal growth. My own experience with psychotherapy provided meaningful support as I navigated some of the most difficult challenges of my life. That experience contributed to my personal growth and inspired me to help others pursue their own paths toward healing, growth, and ultimately, thriving.
