As an out gay man I am passionate about providing therapeutic support for other gay men, queer people, and couples. As men we are often socialized to keep our feelings in, to avoid showing weakness. Growing up, boys are frequently taught to be competitive with one another, and not to show affection or compassion. These early experiences can lead to men feeling isolated, out of touch with their feelings, and having conflict in intimate relationships. In my work with gay men and couples, I believe in the transformative power of men being supported by each other.
I help clients with anxiety, communication, emotional growth, sexuality, and relationship stress. Individuals come in feeling stressed out and frustrated in their personal relationships. Couples seek support due to frequent arguments over what seem to be small things, exhausted from feeling hurt and alone. Using approaches based on Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment theory, I help couples to identify the places where they feel most insecure, and support them to feel safe being vulnerable with each other. Individuals also find relief talking with me about their sex lives and romantic relationships by learning how to connect more to their own feelings and needs, and to communicate these more effectively.
Many clients are seeking a safe space to discuss sexuality. I specialize in sex and sexuality, including kink/BDSM practices, polyamorous relationship structures, specific fetishes/fantasies, sexual performance or fulfillment, and opening relationships to non-monogamy. In 2023 I completed an intensive training program and received a Certificate in Sex Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies. This program meets all criteria for AASECT (the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists), which is considered the gold standard for clinical sex therapy.
Let’s get the conversation going.
