To inform our work, I will call on my experience as a gay man who has grappled with unlocking his own life force and on my decade-long relationship with chronic pain. I am kink-, gender-, and poly-affirming. I believe that the body and what we feel in the present moment carry some of the most important information for our work. I also know that the history and health of the land we live on has so much to teach us about how to heal. I am a white cis man living on unceded Ohlone land. We too often receive the message that what we feel is too much. We come to believe that what makes us different, makes us a burden, and that we should deal with it on our own. But to need help is human. We are not broken for our suffering. We already contain the wisdom to build a better relationship with the world around us. My approach to therapy is to help you get in contact with what you already know. You don't have to go through it alone.
