Who I serve & why
Through my practice I offer individual therapy to clients ages 18+ and I work exclusively with Men and LGBTQIA2S+ individuals.
Why Men? I have chosen to specifically support Men through my work because Men have historically been conditioned by societies they live in to be disconnected from their emotions and in fact are often taught to be repress their emotions and avoid expressing themselves. This can lead to terrible mental health outcomes. I've experienced this myself growing up in environments that enforced and reinforced behaviors rooted in hyper-traditional masculinity. This left no room for me to express myself and live authentically. I want to do my part to change this.
Why LGBTQIA2S+ folks? I have chosen to also support LGBTQIA2S+ individuals because I identify as a cis-gay man, and I've experienced first hand the detrimental mental health effects of discrimination, rejection, and self-hatred. Those are just a few of the adversities that members of this larger spectrum community face on a regular basis. I want to stand in solidarity with my community and enhance care for all LGBTQIA2S+ individuals.
​
I fully support and affirm all LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, as well as all Black, Indigenous, LatinX, and Asian-Pacific-Islander individuals. I will not tolerate any discriminatory beliefs, comments, or rhetoric.
