Relationship Counseling
My unique experiences as a counselor focusing on LGBTQI+ mental health as well as challenging sexual behaviors allows me to offer unique insights to those looking to strengthen or repair their relationships. Queer relationships can bring with them unique nuances around such topics as monogamy and intimacy. They can also face challenges related to social, familial, and cultural stressors. My personal and professional experience as a married gay man, as well as a counselor who has spent years supporting queer individuals allows me to see your relationship through objective eyes that are also culturally informed.
I also offer relationship counseling for those who want to strengthen connection, improve communication, and navigate challenges in the wake of infidelity, breaches of trust, or concerns about sexual mismatches. My guiding light in such complex situations is to remain nonjudgmental and open-minded. I believe in treating BOTH partners with kindness and compassion and encouraging open and honest discussions about how (and if) to seek reconciliation. Whatever my clients decide, we can find a way to move forward with mutual respect and a focus on listening and being heard.
