About me
I am an experienced trauma therapist specializing in substance use treatment. I also have experience in helping clients from all walks of life with anxiety, depression, moderation management/sober curious, sexuality, gender identity, interpersonal relationships, career concerns, and self esteem.
I am a proud gay, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist who offers a supportive, compassionate, and non-judgmental space.
The way I see it, our bodies serve as a living repository, holding our true self, our joy and happiness, our fears, and the pain and suffering we have endured. Oftentimes, our true self can be overwhelmed by the pain, suffering, and fears, creating a life that feels like we are just surviving. I believe therapy can help one transition from surviving to thriving and being their authentic self.
