Welcome!

I am a Therapist (LCSW) in Private Practice. I live in Phoenix, and work with clients Online by Video Session in Arizona, Indiana and New York.

I specialize in working with Gay Men and LGBTQ+ Adults. I also specialize in Anxiety, Worry, and Panic.

If you are looking for a therapist who understands the issues unique to our community, please feel free to reach out! Over the years I have had great rapport with my LGBTQ+ clients. 

My approach uses a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I am in-network with Aetna (employer-sponsored plans only), Cigna, Optum, Oscar, Oxford and United (excluding AHCCCS, Medicaid and Medicare).
