Biography

I function from the fundamental belief that self-inquiry is a necessary and empowering part of living a fulfilled life. I have dedicated my career to service, and entered private practice out of my commitment to quality care. Specifically, I see a need to address gaps in the mental health and counseling spheres for gay men and those affected by HIV/AIDS. Few male counselors exist, and even fewer male counselors focus on gay male issues. From both observation in my role as a clinical supervisor and as a gay man with his own counselor, I’ve found that people get much more out of counseling if they know that the professional they are working with has life experiences like their own. I believe in a balanced approach to counseling which addresses the root causes of our outlook on life and our ability to function highly. While examining these root causes, I work with clients to develop tangible plans to make noticeable, real changes in their life.
