I am a gay, poly-positive, and kink/BDSM-affirming therapist with a trauma-focused practice. Many of the people I work with have been othered in some way, for their sexuality, their relationship structure, their desires, or simply for who they are and carry the marks of that early on, often as anxiety, disconnection, or a quiet sense of not-quite-belonging. I want my practice to be a space where none of that needs to be hidden, explained, or defended.
I strive to meet you in your world, to understand how you see and feel things, not fit you into a framework that isn't yours. Each of us holds a layered internal landscape, shaped by early experience and unconscious story. Together we trace those threads and start making meaning of them.
Creativity is central to how I work, through writing, art, music, or metaphor, expression can surface what words alone can't reach, especially around trauma and identity. We start from unconditional positive regard, build skills to ease anxiety, then move into the deeper patterns shaping your life.
