I understand counseling to be a place in which with collaboration, relationships, and trust, an individual can begin to craft the life they want to live by meeting themselves where they are at.
Through an intersectional lens, it is my priority to co-create a space in which clients can connect with their whole experience and identities in creating the foundation for an abundance of growth. I understand clients to be the expert of their experience and the work we do to be inherently collaborative.
I have found counseling to be my life’s work through connecting with others in previous roles I have held, specifically in working with college students, neurodivergent populations, and the LGBTQIA+ population. I find that connecting with others in the counseling space creates a foundation for thriving, where counseling becomes a place of expansion.
I come with passions for working with the neurodivergent population (specifically with ADHD and Autism and unpacking a late realization), providing gender-affirming care, sex-positive counseling, disordered eating, and body image, managing and processing chronic illness, and identity work through a trauma-informed and all-inclusive perspective. As a queer, neurodiverse counselor, my experience has offered me perspectives from within the community and has given me a passion for advocacy, connection, and collaboration. While I come with passion in these areas, my work goes beyond these areas. I believe that every individual and their needs deserve space in the therapeutic setting and it is my goal to create a space
It is my goal as a counselor to make counseling an affirming space that allows each of my clients to experience their whole selves in meeting their greatest potential. I am committed to learning about your experience and am excited to continue my journey of lifelong learning.
