I'm trained, experienced, open and trustworthy which allows for a secure therapeutic frame and safe working relationship.

I’m psychodynamically inclined with cognitive-behavioral applications. I believe You are the expert and support your journey to unravel unconscious beliefs and adaptive behaviors that create conflicting forces between security and growth.

I can relate to your feelings of confusion, anxiety, fear and weariness. You can expect from me a nonjudgmental relationship allowing for a catalyst towards awareness and self-discovery where “unlearning” and healing can occur.

I work with anyone who is at least 14 years of age; gay or straight. I am an entrepeneur with a business background. I can appreciate internal conflicts from a religoius upbringing. I'm comfortable working with other mental health practitioners.

I grew up in a steel mill town in Ohio. After college in D.C., I became an activisit at the inception of West Hollywood becoming the first US "gay city". At 55 I became licensced as a psychotherapist which allows the opportunity to work together now.
