Hi there, I'm Miles!

I work as a collaborative partner to help you move through trauma, hurt, and pain. As a queer, transgender, nonbinary therapist with a non-traditional spiritual practice, I create a space where you don't have to explain or educate me about sexuality, open relationships, polyamory, BDSM, body size, disability, or chronic health.

My focus

I work with LGBT, poly, open relationship, BDSM, neurodivergent, and mixed neurotype communities. I support clients with anxiety, panic disorders, DID, OSDD, structural dissociation, PTSD, and complex trauma. I use EMDR, somatic and mindfulness interventions, parts work, and the Neuro-Affective Relational Model to process trauma.

My approach

I use Gottman and Emotionally Focused Therapy for communication, conflict resolution, and relationship discernment in couples work, creating cooperative relationships where partners make agreements, gain understanding, and build intimacy. I collaborate with you to explore life history, spirituality, family, and relationships.
