As a Gay man living in Tennessee, I am passionate about supporting your growth, affirming who you are, and helping you create the life you want and deserve! I am committed to making our therapeutic experience safe, caring, and supportive.

As an LGBTQ-affirming therapist-in-training, I understand that our unique gifts, talents, and wisdom often grow from our Queer identities. I am especially interested in helping Gay men better understand themselves, create and sustain caring relationships, and enjoy being gay! I also love working with couples, polycules, and LGBTQ+ families helping to build affirming and meaningful bonds and connections.

As someone who grew up in the country experiencing shaming messages from religion and my environment, I hold a special place in my heart for LGBTQ folks working through religious trauma or navigating the challenges of coming out later in life. This is especially hard if you live in a rural area without enough community and support. I would love to hear your story and help you build upon your own inherent value and worth!

To relax and rejuvenate, I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading life-affirming stories, watching indie movies, attending county fairs, traveling, great friends, good conversations, and spending time with my two cats, Phoenyx and Bodhi, and my dog, Buddha!
