I provide 100% remote, secure telehealth sessions for individuals, and couples. residing across Washington DC, New York, Nevada, and Connecticut, allowing you to prioritize your mental heath from the complete comfort, privacy, and safety of your own home.

I provide structured support to help clients manage symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and develop effective coping skills. I also specialize in couples therapy and relationship counseling, supporting partners with communication issues, recurring conflict, trust concerns, emotional disconnection, and attachment-related patterns. I offer LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and provide a safe, inclusive environment for clients of all identities and relationship structures. My work is collaborative and evidence-based, focused on symptom reduction and relational improvement. I like to consider myself as a "thought partner" that cultivates and provides a "safe space" for individuals, I assist

I have a direct approach to assisting people. I believe in full and effective methods of communication. I also aim to assit all people who i see, with the fullest "positive" regard.

I wish I could select more than two of these descriptions, because Damien really is the whole package. He has challenged me while still empowering me - a delicate balance! He meets me where I am, and he makes suggestions to work together on the goals we set.
