Get In Touch

Reaching out can feel like the hardest step.

​

You don’t need to know exactly what you want from therapy — or even whether therapy is the right next move.

​

This is simply a place to start a conversation.

What Happens Next

After you reach out, we’ll schedule a brief consultation call.

​During that time, we can:

​

• Talk about what’s bringing you in
• Discuss what you’re looking for
• Explore whether working together feels like a fit

​

There’s no pressure to move forward after the consultation.

A Note on Uncertainty

It’s normal to feel unsure before reaching out.

​

Many people contact me simply because they’ve noticed something feels stuck or repetitive.

​

You don’t need clarity — curiosity is enough.

What It's Like to Come In

In Person Sessions

If you're considering in-person sessions, it can help to know what the space feels like ahead of time.

​

This short video offers a brief look at the office so you have a sense of what to expect before your first visit.

​

For many people, seeing the environment in advance makes the process of reaching out feel a little more familiar — and a little less uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How soon can I start?

I try to offer new clients a consultation within a week. You can schedule a free 15-minute intro call through my website — and if we decide to move forward, I’ll do my best to get you started quickly.

 

What can I expect in the first session?

Our first full session is about getting to know you—your background, goals, and what’s bringing you to therapy now. I’ll ask thoughtful questions and begin to map out a plan with you. You don’t need to prepare anything—just come as you are.

 

I’m nervous about starting therapy. Is that normal?

Absolutely. Most people feel some hesitation at first — it’s a big step. Whether it’s your first time or you’re returning to therapy, we’ll go at your pace. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we begin; just showing up is enough. If you're looking for a gay therapist in Los Angeles, you can learn more here.

 

What if I don’t know how to put my feelings into words?

That’s completely okay — a lot of people struggle with that at first. You don’t need the “right” language to begin. Together, we’ll slow things down, make space for whatever is there, and find words as we go.

 

What if I already “know” what’s wrong with me — I just can’t change it?

Insight is a powerful starting point, but it’s not the whole picture. Therapy helps bridge the gap between knowing and doing. Together, we’ll explore what keeps you stuck and find new, more sustainable ways to move forward.
