I offer therapy for gay and queer men in Chicago, drawing on 30+ years of experience
serving the LGBTQ+ community.
If you are a gay or queer man looking for a therapist, you deserve someone
who understands the unique challenges and complexities of your life.
For many gay men, the journey toward self-acceptance begins early, often shaped by
experiences of shame, rejection, or isolation. These early wounds can leave lasting
imprints — affecting relationships, career, self-esteem, emotional health, and sexual
well-being. Therapy can offer a safe, affirming space to explore these experiences and
foster meaningful growth.
I have been providing psychotherapy to gay and queer men in Chicago for more than 30
years. A significant portion of my practice is dedicated to working with the LGBTQ+
community. As a gay man myself, I bring both personal insight and deep professional
experience to this work. Over the years, I have been consistently inspired by my clients
hard-earned strengths — the resilience they have built in the face of barriers and
adversity. These strengths can often be harnessed in therapy to help address current
concerns and to chart a path forward.
In our work together, we will explore how your identity and life experiences have shaped
who you are today. Therapy can help you examine old patterns, build new possibilities,
and create a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Clients often come to me for help with concerns such as:
- Romantic and sexual relationships
- Dating and navigating hookup culture
- Self-esteem and self-worth
- Coming out at different life stages
- Coping with isolation and loneliness
- Career development and workplace challenges
- HIV-related concerns and living with HIV
- Substance use and addiction recovery
- Sexual health and behavior
- Managing anxiety and depression
- Healing from past trauma
- Spirituality and meaning-making
- Aging and navigating later life as a gay man
I believe it is vital for gay and queer men to work with therapists who truly understand
the cultural, social, and emotional realities of gay life. In my practice, I aim to create a
space where every part of your experience can be explored with respect, insight, and
compassion.
I encourage you to reach out by using the contact form to request a free consultation. I would be happy to discuss my approach and how we might work together to address the issues that matter most to you.
