Hello!
I greatly enjoy working with people on exploring who they are and what they want to cultivate in their life to increase their happiness, confidence, agency, and quality of life. Diversity of expression is an essential part of humanity, and no one should be made to feel less. I firmly believe that working to protect the transgender community with an intersex inclusive lens is vital to our collective health that affirms diversity and queerness from an assumed “norm” is not dangerous or immoral for breathing, existing, surviving, thriving. Suicide-prevention is at the core of my ethos and hope we all survive this experience with mercy, grace, and hope. I endeavor to facilitate healing in all forms as I practice many skills and adjust to most dynamics.
In serving my queer community I provide education, training, and supervision to other therapists and related professionals who are interested in protecting our transgender community from undue distress, arrest, punishment, and/or unnecessary delay in accessing care and treatment.
Sex & gender focused therapy is something that I consider vitally important for everyone to be able to heal from environmental wounds that negatively affect our minds, bodies, and souls to enjoy the pleasure available to us in a life often strife with suffering. In working to decolonize the mind and unlearning binary absolutes that are factually propaganda is a major component of my work, life, and language. For more on the lenses I have and bring to my work and life please consult the archived Topics page.
I identify as a currently able-bodied, cis-bodied, queer, married, neuro-divergent man who provides therapy, advocacy, and training that strives to improve on its ability to be affirming and safe to all peoples who identify as being “othered” by their society and/or culture. For political reasons I identify as a witch, for religious reasons I identify as a Taoist, and for moral reasons I identify as anti-capitalist and believe healthcare should be accessible/affordable for all. In my personal life I enjoy karaoke, drag, nature, hiking, reading, meditating, yoga, and sex!
