You’ve done everything you’re supposed to do… so why does it still feel off?
You push yourself, try to get it right, and yet still feel like a fraud.
Like you’re too much, or not enough.
And no matter what you do… the emptiness is still there.
Now you're burnt out and anxious, and yet craving something different and wondering what it would be like to actually feel the peace, connection, and belonging you yearn for.

Hey, I’m Josh! It’s nice to meet you.
I help gay men and their partners stop living under constant pressure and start feeling like themselves again.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), licensed in Florida, Vermont, and Delaware. My work is grounded in the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), a mind-body approach designed to help people release the pressure, shame, and perfectionism that keep them feeling stuck and disconnected.
As a gay man, I understand many of the pressures gay men carry. The need to perform, the fear of not being enough, and the shame that can live quietly underneath it all, as well as the complexities of queer relationships. Having a gay therapist and therapy specifically for gay men allows for understanding, compassion, and so you don’t have to explain yourself to someone who doesn’t get it. Together we will bring curiosity to these patterns, helping you develop emotional security from the inside out.
Together, we move beyond shame and self-criticism so you can feel secure in who you are, build meaningful relationships, and live with greater confidence, clarity, authenticity, and aliveness.
My Approach To Therapy for Gay Men
I work with gay men and their partners using NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), NARM is a trauma-informed, relationship-focused approach that centers on safety, emotional awareness, and relating to yourself with out shame.
Instead of labeling you or making you relive painful memories, NARM focuses on what’s happening in the present moment. We look at the coping strategies you learned to survive and approach them with compassion, not shame. From there, we work to help you reconnect with who you truly are and build a life and relationships that feel secure, alive, and authentic.
What Makes Therapy With Me Different?
Therapy with me is present, relational, and human. Because we’re human, it’s okay if it’s a little messy, fun, and real.
I’m not a classical therapist who just nods and reflects back what you say—I share my own thoughts, reactions, and experiences too. I value the relationship with my clients and work hard to keep therapy truly relational.
I’m complex-trauma informed and specialize in NARM, which means I create a space that’s gentle, non-judgmental, and free from pressure. You don’t have to perform. You’re free to show up exactly as you are. We might talk about heavy stuff, but we also don’t take it too seriously.
I trust your inner wisdom and work alongside you, helping you uncover the clarity, confidence, and connection that’s already within you. This isn’t therapy that simply treats symptoms. It goes deeper. It’s an exploratory process designed to help you feel more alive, authentic, and secure in every part of your life.
