About

Nobody warns you that the hardest session is the one before the first: the hour spent rereading therapist profiles, including this one, wondering whether any of it will actually help. I remember that hour well. I help adults whose spiraling thoughts hijack their evenings and their confidence. For years I practiced in group settings before going solo, and groups showed me something profiles rarely admit: everyone in the room believes they are the worst case present, and nobody ever is. I am out and proud, and clients in the thick of gender exploration often say it matters to sit with someone who has faced big questions of his own. I try to be easy to talk to and hard to shock. Expect conversation, not examination. Bring the mess; it is welcome. And if you need three more weeks of rereading profiles before you write to me, no judgment; the door stays open.
