Life is often like a hurricane we survive. But what comes after? Through our journey in this world, we often face challenges that can feel too big or ongoing. Whether it’s with chronic feelings of anxiousness, depression, emptiness, issues about sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity, relationship conflict, sleep disturbances, substance misuse, school/work issues, or any combination of those, many of us struggle silently. But you don't have to. It can help to work with a therapist with a deep understanding of what it’s like with these struggles and who is passionate about helping others learn to thrive despite these adversities.
I believe that connecting with your therapist is essential and enjoy building a working relationship with my clients. I am passionate about working with marginalized persons, including the LGBTQ and BIPOC communities. My style draws primarily from existentialism, CBT & DBT, narrative, positive, and relational psychology, harm-reduction, and mindfulness.
My approach to counseling tends to be sensitive, warm, and pragmatic. I believe in listening to my clients, respecting their unique challenges, and showing compassion even if they have had little from others or themselves. If this resonates with you, please do not hesitate to reach out to discuss how we can work together to help you live a fuller life.

It can be tough to find a provider who is informed on and compassionate about the actual lived experiences of people in the LGBTQ community. I have 40 years of personal experience in being gay and queer in the deep south, and over 12 years of experience supporting other LGBTQ folks in therapy. I also often work around anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, and various other life issues.

I approach therapy as a conversation. Let's talk about the issues, and I give feedback ranging from solutions, helpful techniques to implement, and silver linings. I am pulling from both my experiences as a person or clinician. Therapy should be a place of comfort, humor, and maybe a bit of challenge. TLDR: I am informed by CBT, DBT, relational psych, harm-reduction, existentialism, BSF, and MBSR.
