Addictive tendencies, substance abuse, and overindulgence, are often rooted in trauma. That’s one of those scary, stigmatized words that’s easy to dismiss. “My experiences weren’t traumatic, it’s not like I had it as bad as some people”. It’s also easy to dismiss the effects. “I’m not traumatized, I’m just like this." In its wake are depression, anxiety, and the need for “something more.” You’re not alone. There are a lot of us out here, and we’ve grasped on to things that felt like they could help. Our personal collections of coping mechanisms can be messy, and sometimes they just don’t work anymore.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life's challenges? Welcome to a space of warmth and understanding. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I offer a compassionate approach to therapy, providing support as you navigate life's challenges.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 8 years of working with individuals and families. Finding a good therapist can be challenging, so I offer free consultations to make the process stress-free and relaxed. When life gets too overwhelming we can experience depression and anxiety. Together we'll explore your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. What is most important in therapy is that you have a place to share who you are.

I approach therapy from a depth-oriented and attachment-based perspective to increase insight, overcome barriers, and to connect to feeling more deeply. I view this work as a collaborative exploration, and am honored to provide support to others on their journey to a deeper understanding of themselves. I aim to create a safe and nonjudgmental space to enable you to comfortably begin this process of self-discovery.

Are you a gay male finding that the life you have cultivated for yourself is unfulfilling? Do you sometimes feel you have no idea what you are doing or where to even begin?

You may also be in your early twenties and thirties feeling like you don't fit in with those you have held close relationships with your entire life or adult life.

There exists a vast number of individuals with varying degrees of uniqueness, including strengths and areas needing work (issues and challenges).
