teleTherapy for Gay Men & Couples

I believe virtual therapy can be a powerful path toward healing and transformation. My approach is always collaborative and strength-based, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore your deeper truths, process fears and desires, and move closer to the life you envision.

I engage in a way that is genuine, transparent, and personalized—always oriented toward insight, growth, and meaningful change. A central part of this process is the therapeutic relationship itself: the experience of being deeply seen and understood by another person. At times, this may gently challenge assumptions you hold about yourself, opening new possibilities for healing.

The work we do together is a mutual process. We each bring our full selves into the therapeutic space, co-creating an experience that can be both supportive and transformative.

I promise to guide you on your journey at a pace that feels right for you. Along the way, I’ll help you navigate challenges so you can emerge from the process more whole, self-aware, and resilient. Throughout our work together, you’ll find steady support, care, and understanding as we uncover the roots of your concerns, identify blind spots, and develop more constructive ways of coping. My goal is to help you create a more conscious, authentic, and fulfilling life.

Therapists, like clients, are not interchangeable. Each of us brings a unique therapeutic stance shaped by our socio-cultural position, personal history, training, and theoretical orientation. Unlike medicine’s standardized interventions, psychotherapy is inherently relational, requiring sensitivity to the dynamic interplay between therapist and client.

The most effective therapy happens when there is synergy between the therapist’s method, personality, and style, and your unique needs and context. When that fit is present, the work feels safe, meaningful, and transformative.

Once trust is established, therapy becomes a space where you are gently and compassionately supported in confronting the difficult themes that life inevitably brings. It’s natural to want to avoid what feels painful or uncomfortable, yet unaddressed wounds rarely heal on their own. As Carl Jung observed, “What you resist, persists.” Real healing begins when you find the courage to face what you’ve been carrying.

In the early sessions, I focus on asking thoughtful questions to better understand your background, relationships, and current circumstances. From there, I rely on you to bring forward the material most important to you. Together, we engage with it—sometimes through quiet reflection and deep listening, and other times through more active direction, depending on what’s at stake in your healing process.

Our work begins with what’s called a diagnostic interview—a conversation that explores your past and present life circumstances in depth. Along with information from your pre-intake assessment, this process helps us clarify the severity of your concerns and collaboratively develop S.M.A.R.T. goals for treatment (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound). These goals give us a clear roadmap to guide your progress.

Starting with a thorough assessment increases the likelihood of positive outcomes. My process includes both standardized measures and qualitative insights, as well as a written summary that I can provide upon request. You’ll also have the option to complete a personality assessment, the NERIS Type Explorer, which highlights your strengths and underlying needs—valuable information we can use together to support your healing and growth.
