ABOUT ME

Therapy begins with a conversation. A space where you can untangle what’s going on, reflect on what matters, and rediscover parts of yourself that may have gotten lost along the way.

I’m JJ – a psychotherapist trained in Transactional Analysis, and I work online with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to understand themselves better. My approach is warm and collaborative, but also grounded and thoughtful. I’m here to listen, to ask the questions that matter, and to help you make sense of what’s beneath the surface.

Before training as a therapist, I spent years working in theatre – directing productions and running venues. I’ve led teams, worked with people at every level, and navigated the space where creativity meets real-world complexity. That experience taught me something fundamental: whether it’s on stage or in a therapy room, everything comes back to relationships and how we show up in them.

My therapy room is open to everyone. My own journey as a gay, HIV+ man has taught me the value of finding a therapist who truly gets it. While I have particular experience with LGBTQIA+ individuals, people affected by HIV, and those in creative fields, what matters most is that you feel heard, safe, and understood.

I bring sensitivity, lived experience, and a commitment to doing this work well. I’m an Advanced Trainee in Psychotherapy, currently training at The Berne Institute, and I continue to deepen my practice every day.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are – without judgment, with curiosity, and with care – let’s talk.
