I (they/them) believe it’s my role as the therapist to create a therapeutic space that feels affirming, helpful, and effective. I believe a team approach and shared curiosity will best support a client’s growth. Shame is a common theme that I see in therapy that often keeps people stuck, so it’s a priority of mine to build the kind of therapeutic relationship that will allow us to deconstruct shame together in order to address whatever lies beneath. As a therapist, I am committed to supporting the voices that are too often silenced and need to be heard. Therapy can be a place for support and self-work. It’s a space where individuals, couples, polycules, and groups can discuss, process and work through a range of topics. Therapy itself is a commitment to personal growth. It’s a place of compassion and empathy.

I utilize a range of clinical modalities to support the therapeutic process. Some of those include: Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I am a trans masculine queer person with white privilege and able body privilege. Privilege and individual identities can often impact the therapeutic relationship and I welcome exploration of our shared and differing experiences to ensure the safest space possible.

Within the therapeutic relationship, I enjoy exploring issues related to identity, relationships, shame, trauma, performance anxiety, and life transitions.  I believe the client is the expert relating to their own life experiences.
