We’ll untangle the mix of questions, emotions, and outside pressures that so often come with exploring queer and trans identities. You might be wondering how to come out, whether you’re “trans enough,” or if the people in your life will truly accept you. Together we’ll explore what your identity means to you and create space for clarity, self-acceptance, and healing. As a queer and trans man and native New Yorker, I use a strengths-based, person-centered approach to help a diverse clientele of college students and professionals who are coping with anxiety, depression, identity issues, and grief. With compassion and curiosity, we will explore the cultural and social systems you are immersed in, your core beliefs, and how these affect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Learning to trust your innate ability to thrive, we can discover and embrace who you are. I also specialize in relationship therapy for couples who are navigating infidelity, open relationships, polyamory, intimacy issues, and life transitions. I believe all couples deserve thoughtful, affirming care within a non-judgmental, no-nonsense approach that honors the complexity of their relational dynamics without pathologizing their choices. My work is rooted in psychodynamic, anti-oppressive and relational therapy. I see the therapeutic relationship as an integral part of client progress. I believe it is an act of resistance and self-love for anyone of a marginalized community to seek out therapy.
