As an out therapist who has worked extensively with gay men for over thirty years, I bring cultural awareness, compassion and empathy to the therapeutic relationship. As a graduate of one of the earliest LGBT psychodynamic training programs designed for LGBT therapists, I operate from an informed theoretical perspective as well.
