As a member of the LGBTQ+ community with a background in the performing arts and a life devoted to mindfulness practice, I recognize how the healing tools cultivated in therapy can sustainably impact your resiliency. Just as you might strengthen and maintain your physical body through time devoted to exercise, consistent focus on your attitudinal muscles can strengthen your connection to yourself and others; this is the key to a holistic and balanced lifestyle.
Whether this is your first time exploring therapy, or you are on a continued journey with your mental and emotional health, I believe that the gift of time and space for supported exploration and action-oriented connection in a therapeutic setting is intrinsic to your well-being.
As your therapist, I am dedicated to meeting you exactly where you are; I appreciate how your story makes you uniquely you. Using a collaborative approach supported by integrative and evidence-based theory, together, we will identify your needs, establish goals, and discover how best to foster self-compassion, awareness, and growth.
Prior to my work as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I spent two decades working as a performing artist, appearing in a dozen Broadway shows. Using an integrative therapy approach, my therapeutic stance centers upon narrative, somatic, solution-focused, and evidenced-based therapy techniques. Drawing upon my performing arts experience, my devotion to mindfulness practice and my advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community, I work with individuals and couples in both virtual and in-person sessions. I hold a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and two Bachelor of Arts degrees. Originally from Northern California, I reside in Manhattan, New York with my wife.
