I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT is a practical, evidence-based approach that supports clients in identifying unhelpful patterns and developing effective coping strategies. This method is especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

My work is grounded in a person-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I believe healing happens when clients feel genuinely heard and accepted. This approach creates a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, build self-trust, and grow at their own pace.

I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore ambivalence, strengthen motivation, and make meaningful changes aligned with their values. This approach is especially helpful for substance use concerns, behavior change, and life transitions. Rather than pressure or judgment, MI focuses on collaboration, autonomy, and helping clients uncover their own reasons for change.

You deserve a space where you can be yourself without having to explain or defend who you are. As a gay therapist, I bring both personal understanding and an affirming approach. Whether you’re navigating identity, coming out, relationships, family stress, or everyday life, I’ll listen without assumptions. We’ll focus on what matters to you and work toward feeling more comfortable and confident in yourself.

Anxiety can make even ordinary days feel exhausting. If you’re overthinking, expecting the worst, or struggling to turn your mind off, we can work through it together. I’ll help you understand what’s driving your anxiety and find practical ways to handle it. There’s room to talk honestly, try things out, and figure out what helps you feel more grounded.

You don’t have to hit rock bottom to ask for help. Whether you’re questioning your substance use, trying to make a change, or maintaining recovery, I’ll meet you where you are without judgment. We’ll look at what’s behind the pattern, work through triggers, and build practical ways to cope. You get a say in what change looks like, and we’ll work toward it together.
