Therapy style

I have been providing individual therapy services specific to the LGBTQ+ community since December 2020. I am a person-centered, relational therapist who is warm. I honor my clients as the experts of their lives and enjoy forming a collaboration with the people I work with. I enjoy elements of psychoanalysis, especially if the outcome is greater acceptance and care for self. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can help rewrite stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, as well as how we show up in relationships.

Interests

I love zines and comics and enjoy attending art book fairs and gallery shows. I also love playing tennis, classic arcade games, and going swimming in various bodies of water. I'm always down for a weird drag show or performance artist. You can also find me walking my dog, reading novels, playing Nintendo Switch, and spending time with friends and community.
