First, if you haven't gathered, I enjoy a good flower-patterned dress shirt. Secondly, I am involved in much fuckery and shenanigans and I believe laughter is one of the keys to the heart. Third, I grew up without a consistent masculine identity around so I have had to develop my understanding of masculinity and how to balance that with the more feminine qualities that my mother bestowed upon me. I went through quite a bit as a child and teenager and had to learn very quickly how to be an “adult”.

          I then began working in the field in 2010 helping teens and adults struggling with the pain and confusion that they had developed that led them to the various substances and behaviors. I grew up working in treatment centers assisting people with their anxiety, depression, and other symptoms that arose due to instability in their methods of self-care. I quickly recognized that the pain was not unique, everyone experiences these feelings in various forms. I have dedicated the last 13 years of my life to understanding the psyche and how to help the people I work with identify themselves better to take action and create lasting change in their lives.

I have been studying Buddhism and other eastern philosophies as well as ancient knowledge and often use them in my daily life as well as in my work with others. I have been in a relationship with the love of my life for the past ten years, we have a fur baby(pictured below) and have dedicated our lives to helping others and traveling at this time.
