Introduction

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions—often when things feel stuck or overwhelming. My approach is grounded, direct, and collaborative, helping you understand patterns more clearly and move forward with greater clarity and intention. I bring experience working with professionals under high levels of pressure, as well as lived experience as a gay man in a long-term partnership, which informs work around identity and relationships. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin—just a willingness to start where you are.
