My Ideal Client

If you are an adult or teen navigating the messy balancing acts of daily life—juggling anxiety, depression, executive burnout, or the nuances of modern family dynamics—this practice is built for you. I specialize in providing an inclusive, judgment-free space for the LGBTQ+ community, men, and first responders. Whether you are dealing with ADHD, trauma, or a mood disorder, I am here for those seeking a whole-person approach where precise medical care meets real-world dialogue.

My Background and Approach

With 15 years in clinical practice, my foundation is rooted in high-acuity medical environments, including over a decade spent in critical care, emergency medicine, and psychiatric treatment. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), this clinical background allows me to provide safe, precise, and highly evidence-based medication management. At my practice I intentionally pair this diagnostic precision with a warm, conversational, and completely unhurried therapeutic approach. I treat medication as an effective tool to ease the heavy lifting of mental health challenges, rather than the entire solution. My practice bridges biology, identity, and lifestyle, integrating supportive therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused therapies, and Interpersonal therapy. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, depression, adult ADHD, and executive burnout, with dedicated, culturally competent care for the LGBTQIA+

My Values as a Therapist

My practice is built on the belief that mental healthcare must be deeply human, culturally affirming, and free from stigma. As a gay man, husband, and father, I am an active, passionate member of the LGBTQ+ community. I understand firsthand the importance of finding a provider who truly gets the unique complexities of queer identity, modern family dynamics, and the daily balancing acts we all face. My lived experience directly informs my commitment to health equity, ensuring every individual feels seen, respected, and valued for exactly who they are. I value an integrative, whole-person approach to wellness. True healing happens where biology, identity, and lifestyle intersect—which is why I emphasize the vital roles that sleep, nutrition, and movement play alongside safe, precise medication management. Whether supporting the LGBTQ+ community, men, or first responders, my ultimate goal is to offer a collaborative, unhurried partnership that honors your story and helps you thrive.

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Men's Issues External link

    Men often face unique societal pressures to hide vulnerability, which can cause anxiety, depression, or trauma to manifest as anger, isolation, or executive burnout. With 15 years in high-acuity medicine—including over a decade in critical care and emergency services—I have seen firsthand how these challenges build up when left unaddressed. As a gay man and father, I provide a real-world, judgment-free space where men can drop the armor and build practical tools for lasting mental wellness.

  • Veterans/Military Service External link

    First responders, frontline healthcare workers, and veterans carry a heavy, unique burden—navigating critical incidents, hypervigilance, and chronic stress that civilians rarely understand. With decades in high-acuity medicine, including over a decade directly in critical care and emergency departments, I know exactly what that frontline trauma looks and feels like. I provide a dedicated, judgment-free space where you don't have to explain the complexities of your shifts.

  • LGBTQ Issues External link

    The LGBTQIA+ community navigates unique minority stressors—from the exhaustion of masking and systemic stigma to the complexities of modern family dynamics and gender exploration. As a gay man, husband, and father, I know firsthand that standard clinical care often falls short when it lacks real-world understanding. I provide a deeply affirming, judgment-free space where your identity is celebrated. Here, safe, precise medication management combines with a holistic lens to help you heal.
