I specialize in treating all varieties of anxiety - from social anxiety to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and everything in between. I will teach you skills to put into practice so that you don't need weekly therapy in the long term. I'm here to help you move forward, not to make you dependent on therapy. I also specialize in helping gay men, particularly gay men of color, with the unique difficulties they face. Many of my gay male clients have felt that I helped them move past the wounds left by rejecting family members. I am also experienced helping doctors and other medical professionals.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) with a mindfulness component. Many therapists claim to provide CBT, but few are properly trained and credentialed. I am certified by the Beck Institute - the birthplace of CBT. The cost of therapy can be significant, but CBT is short-term. Most clients feel able to reduce how often we meet within 2-4 months.
If we have a consultation call, I'll let you know if I think I can help with the specific difficulties you're having. If I doubt my ability to help, then I'll help you find someone who can. Finding a therapist is challenging and time-consuming, as is becoming comfortable disclosing personal details. I'll do my best to ensure that you only do it once.
