Finding a therapist who shares important parts of your identity or life experience can make therapy feel more accessible and meaningful. My experiences as an Indigenous and queer trans man and outdoor adventure athlete have shaped my journey and the way I understand healing. I take a relational approach grounded in Indigenous perspectives, with a belief that growth and healing happen through community and connection.

I work collaboratively with people to explore patterns and relationships while considering how our cultural, social, and systemic contexts shape who we are and how we experience the world. My goal is to cultivate a therapeutic relationship where you can be curious and vulnerable without having to leave important parts of yourself at the door. My practice is rooted in Relational-Cultural Theory, with elements of mindfulness and ecotherapy. I work with individuals, couples, and groups, and I also offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and gender-affirming care.

I may be a particularly good fit if you’re navigating questions of queer or cultural identity, healthy masculinity, grief, relationships and polyamory, sleep and restorative practices, or the ways risk, challenge, and growth show up in your life. I’m also interested in working with people who feel most themselves outdoors, whether that’s through running, climbing, paddling, cycling, or other forms of adventure.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent years in bike shops and punk houses and later worked in engineering, business, and leadership. Those experiences shaped my appreciation for people who don’t always fit neatly into conventional systems or expectations. Outside of therapy, you’ll usually find me running in the forest with my dog and partner, fixing things, making adventure gear, or strength training.
