Christian A.

If you want to laugh your face off, I'm your random gnome! If you want to reflect on the nature of life and your part in the cosmos, I'm your sounding board. If you want a competent video-gaming partner (World of Warcraft, Red Dead Online, etc.), I'm your swiss army knife (DPS/Tank/Healer). My motto is, "A day without laughter is a day wasted." My dream from a young age was to be a happy husband, friend, and father. Check! I'm happily married to my soulmate; we have two fur-kids and were foster parents for a decade. My circle of friends is close-knit. So now, I want to pass on that offer of friendship to you. With an open mind and a background in psychology and child development/education, I'm studying for my Life Coaching certificate. I'm looking to specialize in self growth (through anxiety/depression and trauma) and interpersonal relationship development (healthy romantic partnering, polyamory/ENM/alternative relationship styles, parenting, and family dynamics). This is all to say I really *get* people; this is my calling. I have an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, and I'm told I give grounded, wise advice when needed. I'm here to accept you and give you a safe space to be your authentic self. I have compassion and respect for all walks of life; I am an ally and an advocate. I'm chill, go-with-the-flow, and I cast no judgement. I'm a multifaceted, quirky geek/teacher/healer. And I'm too many other magical things to label. I look forward to seeing what else we might have in common! If you're looking for a light-hearted chat or a deep soul-searching conversation, a gaming or remote activity partner - look no further!
