My therapy is designed for people working through religious trauma, identity, and spirituality, especially when those parts feel tangled or in conflict.

I trained at a Christian institution and, as a transgender man, I live at the intersection of very different worlds. I am a meeting place of opposites. As someone who has experienced religious trauma, I believe in my bones that clients with religious trauma must be approached with tender hands. 

Understanding human spirituality is important to me. I am currently in a second doctorate program studying the theology found in art and culture. Additionally, I have done several years of study of alternative spiritualities including neo paganism, expanding my training beyond Christianity. This deep study of religion and spirituality helps me with all my clients, even the atheists! 

While education is important to me, my sessions are accessible and understandable to wherever walks through my door. Clients have said I’m very easy to talk to, and I often hear the words “I’ve never told anyone this before…” Sessions with me are strength-focused, celebrating the good while working through life’s challenges. This work is hard but we will laugh along the way. 

Outside of therapy, I have been married for 24 years and have a college-age child. I’m also a lifelong artist who enjoys creative writing, crafting, and role-playing games like DnD. Prior to working as a therapist, I helped with community theater and volunteered with anti human trafficking organizations in Thailand. 

I love pets and have too many animals. I have 2 dogs and one cat, but also a black snake, and some fish. But don’t ask me how many fish because they keep having babies!
