Finding a therapist who shares important parts of your identity or experience can make therapy more accessible. Being an Indigenous and queer trans man and outdoor adventure athlete have shaped my journey and the way I understand connection. Before becoming a counselor, I spent years in bike shops and punk houses and later worked in engineering, business, and leadership., which shaped my appreciation for people who don't always fit neatly into conventional systems. Outside of therapy, you'll usually find me running in the forest, fixing things, making adventure gear, and strength training.

My approach is informed by an Indigenous worldview and rooted in Relational Cultural Theory, ecotherapy, mindfulness, and somatic work. I also offer cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) for men that are struggling with sleep. In our work together, we'll examine the ways that connection and disconnection impact your relationships, physical and mental health, and joy. We'll start to rebuild pathways to connection through the exploration of healthy masculinity, connection with the natural world, building self compassion, and emotional awareness.

If you're interested in working together, send me a message and we can schedule a free 15 minute consultation call, or we can schedule our first session. You don't need to have anything figured out - all you have to do is show up and we'll navigate the process together.
