Therapy for identity, intimacy, and growth
Welcome. Let’s begin. I’m Ian, and I practice at Sioux Falls Psychological Services.
My work holds space for insight, connection, and self, the threads we often return to as you move through transitions of identity, relationship, and story. You can read more about these guiding threads here.
Whether you're questioning who you are, how you love, or what’s next, I offer a place to explore what matters most, and to go down and in with compassion and clarity.
I focus on identity development, sex therapy, and life transitions, but the themes of insight, connection, and self are woven through all kinds of human experiences: grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational pain. My approach adapts to meet you where you are, whether you’re navigating a diagnosis or simply feeling stuck.
If you’re carrying a diagnosis, a story, or simply the weight of “I don’t feel like myself,” you’re welcome here.
About Me and My Work
I’m a licensed therapist working with adults and people in diverse relationships (couples, poly, or somewhere in between) navigating change, identity, and meaning. My approach draws from attachment theory, psychodynamic insight, and mindfulness-based practices to help clients build self-awareness, clarify emotions, and grow meaningfully.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly two decades in financial services, leading teams and managing change. That experience shapes how I think about transformation, responsibility, and the stories we inherit about success, identity, and connection. Shifting careers came from a deeper desire to work more directly with people’s inner experiences.
My work encourages curiosity, reflection, and a willingness to sit with uncertainty. These are tools that help us make sense of what’s behind us and what’s unfolding now. I aim to support meaningful, sustained change by helping people explore how past and present patterns shape their lives.
As a gay man, I bring lived experience to work focused on identity, intimacy, and connection. I provide sex-positive, affirming care that welcomes diverse expressions of gender, sexuality, and relationship orientation, including non-monogamy and kink.
Whether you’re working through anxiety, grief, relational pain, or something harder to name, I offer a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported in your process of self-discovery.
The Work We Might Do
-
Sex Therapy
Explore and be curious about desire, function, intimacy, and pleasure in a space where nothing is too much or taboo.
-
Identity Work
Connect with the parts of you that feel unfinished, unseen, or overdue and name who you are on your own terms.
-
Life Transitions
Make meaning from change, loss, or uncertainty, and move forward without needing to have it all figured out.
