About
As a queer therapist, my goal is to create a respectful and affirming environment with my clients. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to the counseling process and hope to encourage empowerment through respect, kindness, and equity. I value authenticity and encourage open and honest communication with my clients. I try to show up authentically each session to show that I am a person, just like you. I don’t pretend to be an expert, because YOU are the expert on your life. My therapeutic environment is based on equality between me and my clients.

I use a lot of humor and empathy in sessions to make the process more comfortable, because sometimes therapy is awkward. And that’s ok! Change can only happen when we’re uncomfortable enough to take action, and we will navigate that process together. Also, my 13lb poodle mix will probably join us in the office!
