Are you looking for a therapist who won't judge you?
Is it difficult to find a psychologist or counselor who has deep experience and expertise in counseling LGBTQ people?
Have you had trouble before with a therapist who doesn't have meaningful experience with LGBTQ issues?
I'm a gay therapist who specializes in LGBTQ mental health, and I believe you deserve a better experience.
Maybe You Relate to Some of These Concerns
Here are some of the worries, concerns, and problems that many people want help with when they come into my office.

You have questions about your relationship that you want to explore individually rather than in couples counseling.

Identity, Coming Out, or Aging Concerns
Anxiety, Depression, Or Another Mental Health Concern
You feel stressed; you worry too much; you may be riddled with anxiety
You don’t feel happy; you may be depressed
You feel insecure and "beat yourself up" for all the things you do wrong.
Your future looks uncertain or hopeless sometimes. You can’t seem to get out of the rut you find yourself in.
You’re wanting to make some changes in your life, but you either aren’t sure what changes you want to make yet or you’re having trouble putting your desire for change into action.
Life feels hard.
I can help you feel better about yourself, your relationships, and your life.
As a caring and skilled therapist, I offer you support, encouragement, and compassion to help you live the kind of life you want to live.
