Message for Clients
Please be you. As a gay man, I'm all too familiar with masking. We do it to gain social and romantic success. We do it because we don't like ourselves. We do it because we don't like what we are––not who.
As a person with ADHD, I empathize with questioning every step I take, often stumbling over uneven pavement. Without support, our feelings lead to thoughts. Let's turn that around so that your thoughts lead to feelings.
Who Me?
I'm a San Diego native, though I've been bobbing between Portland, OR and Seattle, WA since 2011 when I first pitched a tent in the PNW. I attended Lewis & Clark College for a BA in Psychology. I spent my final year there mediating a weekly meditation group at Portland Mindfulness Therapy. From there, I became interested in the intersection of meditation and ADHD.
After college and into my early years as a graduate student, I worked as a full-time features reporter for a tiny, old-fashioned print newspaper. I was also a freelance journalist with op-eds and cultural pieces published in the likes of The Washington Post, Willamette Week, Vice, HuffPost Queer Voices, The Oregonian, and more. Often, I was commenting on my experience with my sexual orientation. It was an interview with a comedian that led me to change course and pursue professional counseling.
In 2020, I received my Master's in Education in Counseling (MaEd) from social justice-oriented Seattle University in glittery Capitol Hill.
From 2019-2023, I worked as a counselor at Pacific Mental Health. In 2023, I founded Prologue Counseling with the goal of helping creatives struggling with ADHD, identity issues, self-esteem, anxiety, relationship problems, and minority stress through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I also lean on a mesh of art and narrative therapy techniques. However, instead of drawing/painting, I like to infuse short, optional creative writing exercises to help clients become the main protagonist within their own life story.
