HI, I’M Morris (LMFT, CST)
I am a queer relationship, individual, and sex therapist based in Washington, and I am the founder of Glimmer Therapy Services.
Glimmer Therapy Services was named for the glimmer of hope you might feel upon deciding to start, or restart, your healing journey. In Polyvagal Theory, glimmers are the opposite of triggers—they are cues of safety in a world we often experience as threatening. I hope to meet you here, in the glimmer space.
I believe that everyone deserves to feel whole, integrated, and deeply connected to themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. This world can be immensely stressful, and I believe that a connected mind, body, and relationship with others is critical in order to usher relief, joy, and pleasure into our lives and to help balance the struggles of daily life. I also believe that we are all innately resilient; we have so much capacity to adapt, heal, and move forward in our lives.
I recognize that it takes a lot of courage and effort to start therapy. I aim to provide a space for you to feel genuinely heard, understood, and seen – no matter what you are dealing with. I also know that you are the expert of your own life. I am here to help you navigate your current challenges.
I offer a collaborative, holistic, hands-on approach to therapy. I enjoy working with various relationship constellations and adult individuals. I work with a wide range of clients, including LGBTQIA2+ folx, those looking for increased connection in their relationships, those who want to explore their sexuality and enrich their sexual selves, folks “coming out” later in life or developing their identities, neurodivergent folks, healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, therapists, etc.), and more. My training includes a wide range of therapy models, and I intentionally tailor each of our sessions to your unique needs.
