my approach:

I am relational and collaborative in my approach. We can look at our relationship and the things that play out between us to gain understanding into how things might play out between my client and other people in their life. I like to explore old narratives and find new ways of flipping the story to better suit someone's goals. I tend to be direct and I will challenge ct's, the a gentle empathic way. I will call out patterns or contradictions that I notice. I will empower people to discover the strengths they didn't notice they have and help channel those strengths to help them get to where they want to go.

thoughts for new clients:

You are the greatest change agent in your life. A therapist is just your guide.

ABOUT ME:

I am a psychotherapist and a storyteller who has spent the better part of my life studying human behavior and connection. I have a BFA in acting from The University of the Arts, and an MSS from Bryn Mawr College. Much of my work is focused on working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, substance use, as well as grief and loss. I have also worked with people experiencing co-occurring mental health conditions such as trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I am a therapist who uses my experiences alongside my formal education. As a white passing bi-racial gay man, I understand people are complex and my experiences allow me to humbly understand and embrace the inner life of my clients. My acting training informs my practice: motivation, action, the gravity of circumstances, and power presence– each of these skills are invaluable to anyone looking to move through life with clarity and strength.

Therapy is an artistic practice. It is an ever changing experience we create together. I create a safe and warm environment free from judgement. In our work together, we will explore who you are and where you come from. It is in the past that we can unlock the key to a better future. The ways in which you used to survive may have stopped working. My job is to help you unbelieve false narratives about yourself and find new ways of coping while honoring old skills that have far outlived their usefulness.

I will help you build insight into the way you tell your own story, and we will uncover patterns you may not have noticed before. I will challenge you, reinforce your strengths and help you discover new coping skills.
