Welcome

While we might long for changes in life, making change can be painful and scary at times. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I will partner with you
on this journey.

“The body has been designed to renew itself through continuous self-correction. These same principles also apply to the healing of psyche, spirit, and soul.”

My practice focuses on treating trauma, intimacy and relationship problems, sexual addiction and compulsivity, alcohol and substance abuse and/or drug linked sexual behavior, codependency and co-addiction, anxiety, depression and career or workplace concerns. The primary modalities I utilize with Individual clients include Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. I also offer Couples and Group therapy. I work extensively in the LGBTQ+ community and specialize in gay men’s health and well being.
