Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am a white, queer, non-binary, trans-masc, Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 3 years of practice experience. My personal identities greatly influence the lens of which I engage in a therapeutic relationship with the people that I serve. My therapeutic interests and experience include working with individuals in the LGBTQIA2S+ community, anger processing, trauma work, intergenerational dynamics, and interpersonal relationship dynamics.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I strongly believe in taking an anti-racist, decolonizing, culturally competent, and gender-affirming approach to therapy. It is through my own personal values and ethics that I aim to provide an open and accepting space for each individual to share and process their own unique experiences on a path towards their healing. I use interpersonal techniques from a trauma-informed and strength-based approach to help folks make progress towards their goals and develop stronger self-compassion.

What you can expect from our first session

Within the therapeutic space, I strive to help individuals find new perspectives and expand their ways of thinking, better understand, set, and uphold appropriate boundaries, and feel affirmed in their identities. Through working together, I hope that folks will end up feeling more worthy of their desires, build confidence in themselves and their boundaries, feel truly affirmed in their identity, develop a stronger sense of self, and feel challenged to make changes towards their overall growth.
