My areas of clinical focus are around men's issues and with members of the LGBTQ community. I'm committed to providing a safe and affirming environment where you can process your feelings, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable. I'm not the kind of psychologist who sits silently and nods while you do all the work. I'm an active therapist and work collaboratively to help you increase self-awareness and identify a healthier path. Additionally, I draw on different theoretical approaches to adapt my work to your needs, but work primarily from a relational psychodynamic perspective. In my clinical work, I provide individual and couples counseling services to adolescents and adults. I work with many different presenting concerns including anxiety disorders, identity development, relationship issues, anger management, addiction recovery support, life transitions, grief, trauma, multicultural issues, and concerns about sexuality. I'm committed to creating an environment which promotes openness and trust where all beliefs can be freely explored. I work to provide services that are culturally sensitive; to create an atmosphere of acceptance of unique individual differences; and to provide culturally relevant services unique to each client's needs.
