    I personally identify as genderqueer (They/Them, or He/Him) and Polyamorous (Ethically Non-Monogamous for 26 years), and I have defined my practice as being Queer and Transgender Focused, Sex Positive, Kink and Poly aware.  My practice is centered on not only affirming but celebrating the diversity of Gender, Attraction, and all Family and Love Styles.

    Following the completion of my undergraduate degrees and a year of substitute teaching experiences, I began my career in community mental health, with developmentally disabled adults.  I partnered in the founding years of a program for sexual minority youth in N.E. Florida in 1997, and volunteered as a youth counselor for at risk young adults age 13-24 who identified as LGBTQ in 1998. In 2001 I served as the pre/post test (HIV/STI) counseling coordinator for ALLGLO in Austin Texas.
