(he/him)
I’m a therapist passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. With a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by queer and trans individuals, including minority stress, identity exploration, and somatic symptoms. I create a safe, affirming space where you can feel truly seen. My eclectic approach blends Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Dream Work, and CBT, while incorporating specialized somatic tools like Brainspotting and EFT Tapping for trauma regulation and nervous system healing. I’m down-to-earth, genuine, and committed to meeting you exactly where you are.
Our initial session is a structured intake to get a full picture of your experiences, symptoms, background, and goals. Using a bio-psycho-social lens, we’ll explore what brings you in so future sessions can be tailored specifically to you.
What sets me apart is my flexible, eclectic style and specialized training in LGBTQ+ affirmative care, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I integrate Brainspotting and EFT Tapping for somatic regulation alongside Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Dream Work, and CBT approaches. This allows me to adapt in real time to your needs, whether you’re processing deep trauma, managing anxiety, or exploring identity. Our sessions will feel both meaningful and effective.
My ideal clients are LGBTQ+ individuals (including queer, trans, and non-binary individuals) who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or the impact of discrimination and identity-related stress. You may feel stuck in your body, overwhelmed by emotions, or ready to process past experiences while building resilience and self-acceptance. Whether you’re seeking somatic relief through Brainspotting/EFT or deeper exploratory work, I’m here to support your goals in a warm, affirming environment.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience using CBT to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and trauma responses. My approach is collaborative and practical. We work together to break overwhelming situations into smaller parts, build coping skills, and test new behaviors that create meaningful change. I often combine CBT with somatic tools when clients experience strong physical symptoms of anxiety or trauma.
Psychodynamic
I use psychodynamic therapy to explore how past experiences, unconscious patterns, and early relationships affect current struggles. This helps clients gain deeper insight into repeating themes in their lives, especially around identity, self-worth, and relationships. I apply it gently and at a comfortable pace, particularly with LGBTQ+ clients who are processing complex trauma or minority stress.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is one of my main trauma-focused tools. I am trained in this somatic method that uses specific eye positions to help access and process trauma stored in the brain and body. I use it to help clients release stuck emotional and physical tension from trauma, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation. It works especially well for LGBTQ+ clients dealing with minority stress or complex trauma when regular talk therapy is not enough.
Somatic
I specialize in somatic approaches to help clients release trauma and regulate their nervous system. I am trained in Brainspotting, which uses specific eye positions to access and process trauma stored in the brain and body. I also use EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques), which involves tapping on acupressure points to reduce anxiety and emotional distress. I teach clients how to use these tools both in session and on their own. These methods are especially helpful for LGBTQ+ clients dealing with trauma, minority stress, and anxiety when traditional talk therapy alone is not enough.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy is the foundation of my work. I focus on creating a warm, non-judgmental, and affirming space where clients feel truly heard and accepted. I believe clients know themselves best, so I emphasize empathy, acceptance, and authenticity. This is especially important for LGBTQ+ individuals who may have faced rejection or invalidation in the past.

I can’t say enough good things about my therapist, Pierre. He’s incredibly solution-oriented—I always leave with clear, practical next steps. His insight helps me see things differently while still feeling heard and supported. He balances empathy with accountability, and every session feels focused and productive. Highly recommend.

Truly the life change I needed. He is not only direct, he has made sure to give me “homework” as i like to call it. Challenging me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things, empowering me to take charge and lead in my own growth journey. Other noteable qualities/traits: Direct, warm, solution oriented, intelligent, & humorous.
