As a gay male therapist, I bring both lived experience and clinical insight into LGBTQ+ identity — including navigating internalized shame, relational wounds, coming out at different life stages, and the ongoing work of self-acceptance. My own experience shapes the way I show up in the room: genuinely, without judgment, and with a real understanding of how identity, family, and mental health are connected.

I work with adults and adolescents across the LGBTQ+ spectrum through identity exploration, coming out, minority stress, relationship patterns, trauma, anxiety, body image, family conflict, and try to stay curious and humble about the parts of someone’s experience I haven’t lived myself.

My therapeutic style is relational and psychodynamic, with evidence-based tools integrated as needed. I draw on Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1 trained), and also integrate somatic approaches for trauma and DBT skills for emotional regulation — tools I find especially useful for clients whose nervous systems have been shaped by chronic stress or early relational wounds.

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, a program with a strong emphasis on multicultural competency and inclusive clinical practice. I’m licensed in New York as an MFTA and have been in practice since 2022.

More than anything, I want to create a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are before the real work begins.
