Hi there, I'm Dustin!

I'm passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges with compassion, clarity, and resilience. I use evidence-based practices grounded in mindfulness to help you feel more present, calm, and in control. Together, we'll explore what truly matters to you so you can move forward with greater purpose and confidence.

My focus

I specialize in helping individuals—especially those in the LGBTQIA+ community—heal from trauma in a space that is safe, affirming, and sex-positive. Together, we'll explore how your early relationships may be impacting your current emotions and connections, and work toward creating healthier, more secure ways of relating.

My approach

I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and provide a safe, supportive, and sex-positive space for healing, especially for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Drawing from attachment theory, I help clients understand how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and guide them in building stronger, healthier connections.
