Therapy Specialties
My specialty areas of psychotherapy support individuals across Washington D.C., Arlington, Alexandria, and the broader DMV as well as all other DC suburbs. I work from a culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ affirmative lens to help you create meaningful and lasting change.
Work with someone who gets it. I've spent my entire career specializing in providing affirmative therapy for sexual & gender queer people. Whether you're exploring your identity, navigating relationships, or healing from minority stress, we'll work together collaboratively so you feel supported and seen.
I specialize in working with gay and queer men who are navigating the intersection of masculinity, identity, sexuality, self-worth, and belonging. In our society, this intersection represents unique challenges and experiences, and I'm here to help you navigate them. Many clients come to work through relationship challenges, internalized homophobia, coming out, community pressures, sexual identity questions, and perfectionism.
For those who experience trauma, life feels unbearably chaotic & painful. Whether it's misattunement trauma, complex trauma, sexual trauma, or something else, I know I need to earn your trust and work with you to reestablish your sense of safety and sense of a worthwhile future.
Sex in our society is often viewed as a taboo topic, with people finding it incredibly hard to be open with themselves & others about their sexual wishes and identities. With a Master's in Human Sexuality, I help clients explore their sexual selves with confidence, curiosity, and pride. I commonly help people with intimacy concerns, differences in desire, kink or fetishes, identity questions, and consensual non-monogamy (CNM therapy).
Perhaps things take more energy than they once did, or you've felt sad, lonely, or like you're no good. You may be wondering what happened to the sense that life could be more exciting. Depressive symptoms are common and you do not need to endure them alone. I often work with individuals who face identity-based stress, life transitions, or burnout and work dissatisfaction.
Thinking, rethinking & overthinking, worried about what others think about you. Or, perhaps, ruminating about something that occurred while you were at work earlier. Whether it's nagging perfectionism, performance anxiety, or social fear, anxiety can become a heavy burden. While it may be a part of life, we won't let it control you any longer.
