Introduction

Exploring Identity, Sexuality, and Connection Are you ready to explore the many facets of who you are—your identity, your sexuality, and your relationships? As a gay therapist and active member of the BDSM and ENM communities, I bring a deep understanding of the complexities and joys of alternative relationship structures and dynamics. My lived experience, coupled with professional training, allows me to best serve you in navigating the conversations, dynamics, and emotions that arise within these communities. HAES Approach for Disordered Eating & Body Image We all want to be part of a community and there is hardly anything that brings people together more than food! But sometimes, when we find ourselves in an unhealthy relationship with our self or with our body, we need guidance to restructure our self-image and our behavior towards food. Bodies of all sizes deserve to be treated with respect and to achieve full recovery. If you experience disordered eating, we can utilize the Healthy at Every Size (HAES) approach to heal your relationship with food, your body, and your holistic health. A Trauma-Informed Approach to Therapy I am trauma-informed and trained in effective modalities, including EMDR, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused CBT), and I offer a safe and supportive environment where you can process your experiences, gain insight into your needs, and discover new clarity about who you are and what you want. Therapy with me is collaborative and direct but always grounded in empathy and respect. Let’s Begin Your Therapy Journey If you’re looking for a therapist who is both compassionate and direct, I would be honored to work with you. Whether you want to explore your identity, heal from trauma, or reconnect with your body, we can—together—create a space for your growth and healing.
