The only truth that I know is that everything can change and difficult times can be weathered, patterns transformed, and adverse experiences integrated through supportive holding. My own journey through challenging periods, relationship pains, and wrestling with identity and adoption, trauma, and expression, is what inspires me to be of service as a therapist.
I strive to hold a non-judgemental space, rooted in empathy and compassion, where your experience of life and the world around you is honored and validated. I care deeply about my clients and my therapeutic style is warm, grounded, sensitive, and accepting. I take an integrative and relational approach, drawing upon aspects of attachment, depth and transpersonal psychology, AEDP, as well as somatic, trauma-informed, parts work, mindfulness, and social justice orientations. I am an advocate for psychedelic and plant healing modalities, completed an MDMA-Assisted psychotherapy training, and received my Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies.
I celebrate the unique, expansive diversity of our community and have worked with clients of varying identities and intersectionality, and am an ally in the fight for authentic expression and equity. I am a white cisgender male who identifies as an adoptee, musician, naturalist, and advocate for ritual and ceremony. I engage in the work of understanding the effects of systemic oppression and invite open conversations around race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and other areas that create power and privilege.
Areas of support that I offer include identity, grief and loss, relinquishment trauma (adoption), relationships (couples, ENM/polycules, bio and chosen families), attachment, anxiety, depression, developmental and complex trauma, life transitions, career and financial stress, men’s issues, spiritual emergence, existential inquiry and self-esteem.
I believe that one of the common roots of suffering is the experience of forgetting, and I celebrate how healing and empowering it is to remember. My goal is to help others remember who they are, what is important to them, and build a supportive, authentic life. I would be honored to sit with you in the process of remembering.
