At the crossroads of our mental wellness journeys, many of us wrestle with painful questions:
Am I enough? Am I too much? Am I safe? Am I wanted? When will I finally feel at home?
As a queer-identified clinician and longtime advocate for LGBTQIA+ health, I’ve spent over a decade holding space for these questions—first in HIV/AIDS programming, then in positive men’s health initiatives, and now in clinical practice. My work has included overseeing HIV prevention and support programming, coordinating psychosocial care for HIV-positive men, and facilitating intimate, culturally responsive conversations through WayGay TalkSpace at William Way LGBT Community Center and Recovery Programming at Easton Mountain.
Through my psychotherapy practice, I offer a space for gay, bi, and queer men to explore:
Healthy intimacy beyond scripts of shame or performance
Loneliness and longing in a world that often misunderstands queer connection
Anxiety, compulsion, and attachment patterns shaped by trauma and exclusion
Body image and self-worth, especially in spaces where desire, identity, and validation collide
The hunger for home—emotional, relational, and spiritual
I believe in therapy that is warm, culturally grounded, and radically affirming. Whether you’re exploring identity, grieving losses, reclaiming joy, or breaking cycles of emotional avoidance, you deserve a space that honors the whole of your story.
Together, we can map your own version of true north—rooted in wholeness, self-trust, and connection.
Psychotherapy for Gay, Bisexual, and Queer Men
Grounded in care, culture, and connection.
I offer affirming, supportive psychotherapy for gay, bisexual, and queer men navigating the complexities of identity, intimacy, and mental wellness. My practice centers body positivity, recovery, sexuality, and self-worth—all through a culturally responsive and trauma-informed lens.
Together, we explore what it means to live with more integration and intention in a world that often challenges our wholeness. Whether you’re working through mood concerns, anxiety, loneliness, or navigating the impacts of hookup culture, trauma, or toxic masculinity, this is a space for you to reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with your own definitions of love and intimacy.
My approach is rooted in:
Intersectionality and the lived realities of queer men of color
Social justice and mutuality, honoring both personal and collective healing
Exploration of relationships, sensuality, and identity—beyond binaries or shame
Support for trauma healing, addiction and compulsion, and reclaiming pleasure
Accessible and Inclusive Care
I offer a sliding scale and accept most major insurances to ensure therapy is as accessible as possible.
