MA, CCPA, RP(Qualifying)
2SLGBTQ+ community and relationship Psychotherapist.
You might experience anxiety, fear, or uncertainty while navigating your sexuality, gender, relationships, and/or identity in a heteronormative society. You may be dealing with feelings of rejection and a lack of acceptance by your family, peers, and/or community. Your concerns may be affecting your ability to form or maintain relationships. Ultimately, your individuality might leave you feeling unheard, judged, mistreated, and underrepresented. If you are seeking a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space to address your concerns, gain a positive perspective, and be heard, I’m here.
Together, we will explore your concerns, implement steps to help you move toward acceptance and understanding, endeavor to build and strengthen relationships; and strive to create long-lasting strategies that can help you regain your confidence and a sense of self. Approaching each therapy session with an open heart and a non-judgmental stance, I create a safe and affirming space for clients to explore their past experiences, gain positive perspectives, and overcome negative beliefs or thinking patterns that no longer serve them. I draw from diverse therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and mindfulness strategies.
As a cisgender gay man, I use my own experiences and affirming therapies to share valuable insights into the lives of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. I also specialize in anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, work stress, life transitions, and self-esteem.
Outside of my professional endeavors, I embrace my love for Dungeons and Dragons, actively participate in and produce musical theatre, and cherish moments at home with my feline companion, Patrick.
