I utilize Relational-Cultural, Interpersonal Process, and Person-Centered orientations to provide my clients with a therapeutic environment that emphasizes empowerment, which necessitates recognizing and deconstructing what forces seek to disempower. I take a systems-aware approach to understanding how norms, narratives, and expectations impact our understanding of ourselves and others. My approach is informed by personal values of transparency, authenticity, and genuineness. 

My postgraduate work has focused on providing services to the LGBTQ+ community, particularly fellow trans and gender-diverse folks, including individual and group therapy services, as well as program development to enhance mental health and medical service provision. As a transmasculine genderfluid person, it’s important to me that my practice deemphasizes gatekeeping and supports clients in being the experts in their own experiences. I have written many referral letters in support of clients accessing gender-affirming health care and make sure to do so in a way that centers the needs of the client first and foremost. 

I hold a Masters's in Counseling Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Bachelor’s from Guilford College.

My dog Max, a 10lb, terrier mix rescue, is also in attendance for all appointments, whether asleep in my lap out of view of the camera or snuggled under a blanket in person. Max is a quiet, careful boy and a very loved constant companion.
