I have my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I am a queer, nonbinary, white, neurodivergent (ADHD and Autistic traits), mostly-able bodied Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor.
Finding a counselor you connect with and feel safe to share yourself with can be challenging for anyone- especially if you’re a part of historically oppressed groups like people in the queer, trans, and/or gender expansive communities. I love building supportive and strong therapeutic relationships with all my clients, working from a holistic, relational, and social justice lens. This means I see everyone as whole people, with all their identities and experiences within the world. I generally work with all ages of people and specialize in play therapy, trauma work (EMDR), depression/anxiety, helping people navigate experiences of oppression, and supporting people in figuring out their identities. Outside of therapy, I have two dogs (Midna & Quincy) and three cats (Maisy, Oliver, & Rey) with my wife, Alicia. I love traveling, hiking, camping, rock climbing, kayaking, seeing friends, and cooking.
