Schedule a Consultation.

A place to begin.

This consultation is a short, focused conversation to understand what you’re looking for and determine whether this work feels like a good fit.

There is no pressure to prepare, perform, or present things in a particular way. You can simply come as you are, with whatever feels most present for you right now.

What this is for.

This conversation is intended for individuals and couples who are considering ongoing therapy support around:

— Depression or anxiety — including the kind that arrives without a clear cause

— Grief — recent, anticipated, or carried for a long time

— A recent or serious diagnosis — cancer, heart disease, or another condition that has changed everything

— A chronic or long-term health condition you've been living with for years, including HIV

— Loving and caring for a partner who is seriously ill — and the strain that puts on both of you

— A relationship with alcohol you're ready to look at honestly

— Retirement, and the question of what comes next

— Navigating aging, health, and what this chapter of life holds — as a gay man

Just begin where you are.

You don’t need to organize your thoughts before reaching out.

No pressure.

No commitment.

Just a chance to talk and see if this is the right place to be heard.
