Rediscover your potential. Embark on a journey of healing and recovery.
LGBTQIA+ individuals seeking support and guidance will benefit greatly from an affirmative approach. You will become equipped with the skills, experiences, and perspectives needed to achieve your most cherished goals, and have lasting meaningful relationships.
I am a member of this community and proudly specialize in providing an affirmative approach that empowers LGBTQIA+ individuals to take their rightful place as dignified and loving people in society. I have been a long-time civil rights advocate, passionately fought for marriage equality, FAIR Education Act, as well as the repeals of DOMA, Prop 8, and DADT.
LGBTQIA+ affirmative psychotherapy aims to help identify ways in which self-esteem has been damaged due to emotional wounding and negative messaging. Being able to have satisfying relationships and engage positively in the community is a common focus of LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy.
I also provide couples therapy for gay men from a non-heteronormative lens meaning that the unique challenges and gifts that come from a gay relationship are celebrated and addressed.
