Helping gay men move beyond shame, people-pleasing, and relationship burnout.

Many gay men reach a point where success on the outside no longer matches how they feel on the inside. You may be navigating relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, long-standing anxiety or shame, or a sense that old coping patterns are no longer working. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, understand yourself more fully, and make changes that feel authentic and lasting.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience working with gay men in individual and couples therapy. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and depth-oriented, helping clients explore how early experiences, identity, and relational patterns continue to shape their emotional lives and connections with others.

I specialize in working with gay men around relationships, intimacy, addictive behaviors, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and life transitions. I also have extensive experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and understand the unique stressors that can accompany identity development, visibility, and belonging.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from California State University, Long Beach, and a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Temple University in Philadelphia.

I am licensed in California, Florida, Michigan, and Texas, and I offer private, full-fee, and out-of-network telehealth therapy for clients residing in those states.

Approach to Therapy

I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions. The basis of CBT is that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are inter-related, so altering one can help to alleviate difficulties in another.
