Meet Ian

I celebrate wins and navigate challenges, addressing anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and inclusive therapy for all individuals, and I have extensive experience in the LGBTQ+ community and identity affirmation. I blend compassion with graceful confrontation in therapy, using psychoeducation, skills instruction, and guidance to help clients practice new skills. Embracing a sex-positive and kink-aware approach, I create an affirming, non-judgmental space where everyone is welcome to explore and grow. Come as you are—I'll provide a supportive and safe space for your journey.

Interests

I cherish the opportunity to blend my love for travel with my enthusiasm for food. Whether it’s a short trip to a neighboring town or a longer journey, I revel in the chance to indulge in the local cuisine. Each bite offers a story, a taste of tradition, and a connection to the place and its people. These experiences enrich my life and enhance my practice, as they remind me of the universal joy that good food can bring, transcending all barriers.
