Introduction

I specialize in working with gay men who are navigating serious health challenges, along with the emotional and relational impact that often comes with them. A significant diagnosis can affect more than health—it can shift how you see yourself, relate to others, and imagine the future. For many gay men, this also brings up questions of independence, support, aging, and identity that are difficult to talk about elsewhere. I also support partners and caregivers, as serious illness often changes the relationship itself in meaningful and sometimes unexpected ways. I provide depth-oriented therapy for gay men facing serious health challenges, and for partners and caregivers under strain. Together, we address the emotional impact of diagnosis, identity shifts, and relationship stress, creating space for clarity, steadiness, and meaningful long-term support. A serious health diagnosis can leave you feeling uncertain, changed, and alone with thoughts that are hard to share. I work with gay men—and their partners and caregivers—navigating these challenges. If you’re looking for steady, thoughtful support during this time, you’re welcome to reach out and see if this feels like a good fit.
