I am a gay, trauma focused, KINK/BDSM, poly positive and affirming therapist. In our work together, I strive to meet you in your world, to understand how you see and feel things, and to collaborate on a path that supports your growth and your truth.
I work with the belief that each person carries a rich internal landscape, often shaped by early experiences, unconscious stories, and deep emotional currents. By paying attention to symbolic language, recurring patterns, and emotional responses, we can uncover the deeper threads that run through your life to help you make meaning of them to bring clarity and empowerment.
Creative thinking is at the core of how I support clients. I believe everyone is inherently creative, and for many, creativity is not just a passion, but a vital way of processing experience, especially when it comes to trauma, identity, and complex events. Even if you consider yourself non creative you may be surprised at capacity for it.
Whether through verbal exploration, writing, visual art, music, or simply speaking in metaphor, creative expression can allow things to surface that words alone might not reach. I aim to set the stage for this kind of exploration, without judgement. Together we can process and get through these troubling times.
