Hi. I'm Andrew.

I'm a LGBT affirmative therapist, trained in LGBTQ+ issues, and am myself a gay-identified cis-gender male. I've worked with LGBT political activist and outreach groups, and have experience working with clients across the gender and sexual spectrum.

I was formally trained in sociological science at CSU Dominguez Hills, a minority-majority school, specializing in medicine, education, and the impacts of globalization. I am myself a multi-racial person, and I bring both training and lived experience to the session space.

Plainly put, I'm a humanistic therapist - I see and accept all my clients, wherever they are in life, however they show up, whenever they show up. 

Some therapists and counseling centers create an agenda and treatment plan by which you must comply. Instead, I work with clients to create a path forward that fits their needs, especially tuned to their unique needs and concerns.

I accept and honor every client's choices and ownership of their lives - and I help my clients mitigate and control for these risks, regardless of what those risks are.

Identifying and dismantling systems of oppression and mitigating their painful consequences were foundational to my educational and clinical-professional training. I seek to learn beyond my own lived experience and lean into anti-oppressive discourse, restorative education, and socially equitable healing.
