I believe that clients who come to therapy are seeking answers that already lie within them. I like to see myself as a guide to help you find those answers. However, therapy can be hard work, so expect me to challenge and push you at times- and please, challenge and push me back! This is a collaborative process in which I will walk alongside you every step of the way. Suffering in this life is inevitable, but you don’t have to go through it alone and, as you’ll find out, it actually holds a lot of value. In the wise words of Thich Nhat Hanh, “suffering is a kind of mud to help the lotus flower of happiness grow. There can be no lotus flower without the mud.”

I am passionate about people and what they love the most, and I believe authenticity is key to successful relationships and personal satisfaction.

I believe the client and their needs should shape sessions and approaches, and am comfortable using various theories like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, ERP, feminist theory, queer theory, person-centered theory and more.

I’m a graduate student at Capella University pursuing a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and taking play therapy courses so I can work towards my certification upon becoming licensed.

I believe that there is no concrete approach to counseling because every client is different, but I do utilize techniques from modern feminist theory, queer theory, person-centered theory, cognitive-behavioral theory, and the body liberation movement. I am a nonbinary, queer person who previously worked with teenagers as a high school teacher, and I am passionate about helping those who are neurodivergent, queer, and marginalized in and out of the counseling room.

I am happily married to an amazing woman, and we have three cats and three dogs. Outside of work, I enjoy playing games, reading books, writing stories, and going to the beach.

I got into this work because I want to be the kind of person that the nervous, confused, queer person like myself needed when I was a child, and I want to be that for others, as well.
