Virtual therapy for LGBTQ+ men in New York — trauma-informed care blending psychodynamic insight, CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness.
Feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again
Trauma, painful emotions, and old wounds have a way of taking over. They strain your relationships, weigh you down, and leave your body stuck on high alert. I help gay and queer men take back their power and control in life, and get back to a life worth living.
I believe in the power of human connection — and I'm privileged to work in a field where that connection is one of the most important things. We are all works in progress, and sometimes we need just a little bit of support to get to that next level of understanding and awareness.
Working together, we make sense of the patterns your past has shaped, build practical tools for the present, and gently process what's been holding you back.
About Jeff
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Most of the people I work with aren't broken — they're overwhelmed. Maybe stress and difficult emotions are spilling into your relationships or your work. Maybe it feels like everyone around you has it figured out while you're barely holding things together. Or maybe something happened to you, and your body hasn't felt safe since.
I've spent more than 15 years in the mental health field, the last 8 as a practicing psychotherapist, and what I've learned is simple: healing happens through connection. My style is warm, friendly, and client-centered. In our work together I blend psychodynamic insight, practical CBT skills, mindfulness, and EMDR — a trauma therapy that helps the brain finally file away painful memories — and tailor the mix to what you actually need.
We're all works in progress. Sometimes we just need the right support to reach the next level of understanding and awareness. Whether you're feeling stuck, hurting, or ready for something to change, we'll navigate it together.

How I Work
Every person's path into therapy is different. These are the concerns I most often help with and the approaches I draw on — all offered in individual virtual sessions, tailored to you.
Anxiety Therapy
Support for high-functioning anxiety, overthinking, and the constant pressure to perform. Learn how to slow your mind and step out of survival-driven productivity.
Depression & Burnout
Compassionate therapy for depression that often shows up as burnout, numbness, or feeling disconnected despite outward success.
Trauma & PTSD Treatment
Specialized support for healing from traumatic experiences. Evidence-based approaches to help you process trauma, reduce symptoms, and reclaim your sense of safety and control.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized approach for processing trauma, anxiety, and difficult memories. This evidence-based therapy helps create emotional change when insight alone hasn't been enough.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Practical tools from CBT to challenge negative patterns and create positive change. We don't stop at surface-level coping — we go deeper.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Depth-oriented therapy focusing on unconscious patterns, early life experiences, and recurring themes that shape current emotional and relational life.
Healing Through Collaboration
Grounded therapy that honors your story and builds practical tools for real life
You are carrying a lot, but that doesn't mean that you're broken. Between old wounds, daily stress, and a world that never slows down, it can feel like there's no room to rest and reset. Therapy with me is collaborative: your struggles are taken seriously, your patterns are explored with curiosity instead of judgment, and you leave with real tools so you can feel more grounded, flexible, and connected to your life.
Psychodynamic Insight
We explore the patterns shaped by your past experiences, uncovering how old wounds influence your present. This deeper understanding becomes the foundation for real, lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
You'll build practical skills to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions. These tools are concrete and actionable—things you can use right away in your daily life.
EMDR
A specialized trauma therapy that helps your brain reprocess painful memories. EMDR allows your nervous system to move beyond the freeze response and truly heal from what happened.
Mindfulness & Body-Based Work
When your nervous system is on high alert, we use mindfulness and somatic awareness to help you find rest and reset. Grounding happens in the body as much as the mind.
