Gay Therapist in Los Angeles

If you’re looking for a gay therapist in Los Angeles, you may be wanting to work with someone who understands the nuances of your experience, especially when it comes to relationships, intimacy, and identity.

I offer LGBTQ+ affirming therapy for adults in Los Angeles, including Burbank and West Hollywood, and online across California. My work focuses on helping you understand patterns in relationships and move toward more authentic and connected ways of living.

Therapy for Relationships, Intimacy, and Connection

Many of the clients I work with are gay men navigating:

feeling stuck in dating or repeating relationship patterns
loss of spark or disconnection in long-term relationships
difficulty with intimacy, vulnerability, or trust
body image and self-worth
anxiety, overthinking, and uncertainty in relationships

You may feel like you know what’s happening, but still find it hard to move forward. Therapy can help you understand these patterns more deeply and begin making changes that feel more aligned with who you are.

A Space That Understands Your Experience

Working with a gay therapist can offer a different starting point. You don’t have to explain or translate your experience in the same way, and there’s room to explore identity, relationships, and connection more directly.

At the same time, therapy is not about fitting into a label, it’s focus is on understanding your experience and developing a stronger sense of self-trust, clarity, and connection.

How Therapy Helps

In our work, we focus on both insight and action.

This may include:

understanding patterns that show up in dating and relationships
noticing how anxiety or self-doubt impacts connection
building comfort with vulnerability and emotional expression
setting boundaries and communicating more clearly
taking small, meaningful risks toward intimacy and authenticity

Over time, this work helps you feel more grounded in who you are and more able to move forward in your relationships.

Approach

My approach integrates relational and experiential therapies, including Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic awareness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My work is also informed by depth psychology, including Jungian and relational Gestalt approaches.

I offer LGBTQ+ affirming, sex-positive therapy that is inclusive of diverse identities and relationship structures, including ethical non-monogamy.

Location and Availability

In-person therapy in Burbank and West Hollywood, Los Angeles
Online therapy across California
