If you are unhappy in your relationships, suffering from depression or anxiety, going though a crisis, or wanting to make changes in your life, psychotherapy can help. Facing one's issues and fears is an undertaking that creates much anxiety. For this reason, the relationship between the client and the therapist is paramount. I endeavor to gain the trust and confidence of my clients by creating a safe haven in which they can begin the process of healing and self discovery.
I strive to maintain an atmosphere of compassion and empathy at all times.

Many, many gays and lesbians have found a way to live authentically and with integrity, transcending the bigotry and hatred they encounter.
Gays and lesbians are vulnerable to the same pressures and stressors as other groups.
