The Reason I Became A Helping Professional

My own life story starts growing up in a small town in South Dakota:

• a gay child living in a world where there was no word and no role models for people like me and what I felt.
• feeling alone, misunderstood and unimportant.
• pretending to be what the adults in my life wanted me to be, “straight-acting,” in order to get their approval and protection
• leading to self-hatred, drinking, partying, and an eventual marriage that couldn’t last
• in an effort to try (and continually fail) to fit in and not feel the pain of my exclusion  from the dominant culture of heterosexual men and women
• I was a classic under-achiever.

I eventually switched from underachieving to overachieving, graduating from business school Beta Gamma Sigma and with high honors. From there I was off to corporate america where I continued to excel. Funny thing was that none of it made me feel successful or happy.

I eventually found a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher who helped me to heal my wounded heart. That experience lead me to study the healing arts in order to give back what I had learned from my teachers.

I left Corporate America,  studied psychology and spirituality, including somatic (body-centered) psychology, great for working with stress and anxiety, and gender and sexuality for LGBT issues. I also studied Buddhist philosophy and the cultural differences between western and eastern societies.
