Many people come to therapy with a mix of skepticism and hope—unsure if change is truly possible, yet longing for something different. Some seek therapy to heal from the lasting effects of trauma, anxiety, or difficult relationships, while others are looking for deeper self-understanding and more meaningful connections. No matter your reason for being here, therapy offers an opportunity to create lasting change.
Why Therapy Works
Relationships are at the heart of healing. Research shows that secure, meaningful relationships are essential for mental health and emotional resilience. Therapy itself is a relationship—one that provides a unique space for trust, safety, and growth.
When we’re in distress, many people turn inward—isolating, avoiding, or numbing out. But real healing happens in connection with others. Therapy provides the structure and support needed to retrain your brain to process emotions in a healthier, more expansive way.
This isn’t about fixing you—because you’re not broken. Therapy is about shifting the ways you think, relate, and experience emotions so you can live with greater connection and authenticity.
Beyond Coping: Creating Meaningful Change
Many people have spent years adapting, pushing through, or suppressing emotions, only to find themselves disconnected, reactive, or uncertain of what they truly want. Therapy isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about expanding your emotional range, deepening self-understanding, and learning to engage more fully with life. Together, we will:
Recognize and shift unconscious emotional patterns that no longer serve you
Understand how past experiences shape present reactions and relationships
Develop a sense of agency over your emotions and choices
Foster deeper, more fulfilling connections with yourself and others
Investing in Therapy
I work with a select number of clients who are ready to do deep, transformative work. Therapy is an investment—not just financially, but in your emotional well-being, relationships, and personal growth.
Because I offer highly personalized, in-depth therapy designed for trauma, relationships, and emotional healing, I am a private-pay provider and do not accept insurance.
While my practice is primarily focused on working with gay and queer men, I also see select private-pay clients from all backgrounds who are drawn to my approach and expertise in trauma, relationships, and deep psychological work. If you resonate with my philosophy and are interested in working together, I invite you to reach out to discuss fit.
