As a gay man, I take pride in providing care that affirms both gender and sexuality. I offer insight and guidance on issues that affect the LGBTQ+ community and have helped clients navigate the challenges of coming out, becoming their most authentic selves, and building relationships that reflect their values and prioritize their needs. I have also worked with clients who struggle with sex, compulsive sexual behaviors, intimacy, esteem, and self-worth in a world that so often treats our community like a burden instead of the treasure it is.

I offer evidence-based therapies to help you rapidly address and remediate mental disorder and associated emotional distress. Most evidence-based therapies require 12-16 weeks of meetings and often result in significant and sustained improvement. I offer treatments for PTSD, OCD, emotional disorders, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, panic, specific phobias, and more. I also have extensive experience using third-wave, cognitive-behavioral therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build mindfulness skills, improve emotional regulation, increase distress tolerance, and reduce the incidence of unhelpful emotion-driven behaviors. These approaches can often help "build a life worth living" when other therapies haven't helped as much as we might have hoped.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of PTSD related to combat or being in war zones, sexual assault and violation, physical assault, violent crime, natural disasters, severe accidents, and trauma based in race, gender, or sexuality. I am able to provide evidence-based therapies for PTSD, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). Developed and refined over decades, these therapies are often highly effective at reducing the burden of PTSD symptoms and significantly improving quality of life for people who have experienced trauma.
