Great to meet you!

I believe the most important thing in life is connection.

Hi, I’m Nate, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s complexities with insight and empowerment. With a background in clinical mental health counseling, I bring experience in both academic and clinical settings, supporting clients with a range of concerns, including identity development, LGBTQIA+ issues, life transitions, and relational challenges.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is informed by Relational Cultural Therapy (RCT) and a deep commitment to fostering connection, growth, and resilience. I believe therapy should be a collaborative, affirming space where you feel seen and supported. My clinical expertise also extends to working with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, and the unique challenges of balancing personal and professional demands.

What you can expect from our first session

We will work towards goals that you set by using our relational connection as means to explore and understand yourself in connection in therapy and with others in your life.
