In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and building a foundation of trust. We’ll talk through what’s bringing you in, what feels most urgent, and what you’d like to see change. You don’t need to have everything clearly defined—that’s something we’ll work on together. Each session lasts 53 minutes and is structured to balance exploration with clarity. I’ll ask thoughtful questions about your history, current stressors, and goals, and we’ll begin outlining a personalized plan tailored to your needs. You can expect a collaborative, grounded conversation—not pressure, not performance. By the end of our first meeting, you should have a clearer sense of direction and what our work together will look like moving forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What sets my work apart is the balance between depth and direction. Many clients arrive insightful but stuck—aware of their patterns yet unsure how to translate awareness into change. My approach blends evidence-based CBT with practical systems that strengthen emotional regulation and follow-through. Sessions are thoughtful, structured, and actionable—not just supportive conversations. Through Grow, I focus exclusively on individual therapy so we can concentrate fully on your personal goals. I also provide couples therapy within my private practice outside this platform.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best positioned to support gay men and LGBTQ+ adults who are thoughtful, driven, and ready for meaningful change. Many of my clients are managing ADHD, anxiety, rumination, or relationship stress—while still performing at a high level professionally. You may feel pressure to succeed, to hold it together, or to prove yourself. You want more than coping—you want clarity, structure, and emotional steadiness that lasts. You’re open to insight, willing to challenge patterns, and motivated to translate awareness into action.
