Do you feel truly heard and seen in your relationships? Are you out of the closet, but still struggle with your identity? Does low self-esteem get in the way of living more authentically? Are you sober curious? Have you been harmed by religion, but want to connect more spiritually? Do you feel trapped in a pattern of choices that, while you recognize aren’t supportive, you continue making despite the negative consequences? I can relate. I’ve been there. It's not uncommon for gay men to experience the effects of heteronormativity. Which is why an affirming therapist can help foster resilience in a unique way.
I'm a humanistic & client-centered therapist. I specialize in working with adult gay men and the unique challenges they face related to self-esteem, identity formation, and shame. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship that works to identify goals and patterns of behavior. You're the driver and I'm in the passenger seat supporting you along the way.
We don’t need to experience challenges to arrive at our purpose. When we can find purpose in our challenges, though, we experience transformation. If you're ready to gain a greater sense of purpose, self-acceptance, and belonging, reach out today.
