About My Clients

I specialize in LGBTQIA+ Affirmative care with a Trauma-Informed lens. I aim to empower and provide support to individuals, partners, and families who experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship stress, and chronic illness.

My Background and Approach

I am a queer cis white male therapist with a passion for both mental health and the entertainment industry. I strive to create an environment of inclusion, acceptance, and understanding for all of my clients, regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other unique aspects of their identity. I am inspired by the power of human connection and the potential for growth and transformation that comes with it. My approach is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity to make meaningful changes in their lives. My goal is to ensure that you have the best support you can get, wherever that may be.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that a combination of a queer affirmative lens and my background in performance make me different from other therapists. My background in entertainment allows me to bring a creative and innovative approach to therapy that allows me to provide a unique and valuable experience to every client.
