I am a queer therapist who believes the action of therapy is achieved through the building of a safe, collaborative, and trusting relationship between client and therapist. Two people come together with their individual identities and construct a space to facilitate growth, change, and insight. In this space we can begin to explore experiences of trauma, relationship, conflict and intention. It is through this exploration that we can begin understand our relationship to the world. I approach psychotherapy from a person-centered and individualistic framework. While my main orientation is psychodynamic talk therapy, I integrate use of CBT, DBT, and systems theory as appropriate. I have specialty working with Queer and LGBTQIA+ folks, particularly gay men, navigating issues of belonging, sex, sexuality, relationships and gender. I would be honored to be invited along with you to identify goals, build on your strengths, and improve your overall quality of life. I identify as a gay male and my virtual office is based in New York City where I work alongside my dog Max.
