About Me

Power of Your Story

I believe people have the power to re-author their stories. Whether the work is brief (dealing with one present problem) or longer-term (exploring life narratives or trauma), my goal is to walk with folks as they move towards lives that they want to live. I know the importance of feeling seen by counselors in this journey, and understand that shared identity may make new relationships feel safer. I’m a white, non-disabled cis-man living and working on unceded Wabanaki Territory - I’ve also worked extensively with women, people of color, disabled people, and trans folks, and am dedicated to anti-oppressive practice. I always welcome looking at power in the therapeutic relationship.

Healing Through Connection

In my experience, relationships can be both the site of the deepest harms and the most fertile soil to building safety. I've specialized in sex and sexuality therapy because I believe that, for many, sex can be an area of the most acute relationship distress AND the most impactful transformation. I work with individuals, couples, and relationship systems to talk through problems —including desire discrepancies, sexual anxiety, consensual nonmonogamy-related relational challenges, and the impacts of sexual trauma—, build somatic awareness, and analyze the impact of systems of power and oppression in folks' day to day lives. I hope the counseling room can be a space to see problems more clearly, to try on new ways of being, and to go to closely guarded places.

Loving What I Get to Do

I am so grateful to get to accompany people on their journeys towards preferred selves and lives, and feel incredibly lucky to witness the energy and courage with which people face the challenges in front of them. If it feels like we might be a fit, feel free to reach out - I look forward to meeting you.
