MS, LMHCA (they/them) Sex, Gender, & Relationship Therapist
What You Can Expect
I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where each client feels safe enough to explore vulnerability, is challenging enough to support growth, and is rooted in the belief that a client’s uniqueness is inherently valuable. People deserve to be seen, heard, and deeply known. This is how I view the world, and how I approach sessions with those seeking to explore themselves and their relationship with others.
My practice is holistic, relational, integrative, and individualized. I view therapy through the bio-psycho-social model and am especially interested in the mind-body connection. Because of this, I often utilize embodiment exercises and work with polyvagal theory and other somatic therapies. My approach is relational and can sometimes be directive when that is right for the individual client. As an autistic therapist, I can be rather blunt and to the point, which is something that many clients enjoy about me. While I have education and training, I respect that you are the expert of your own experience, and I do my best to create a space where you feel supported in your own individual journey.
