I'm Logan (they/them) and I'm an East Asian non-binary person who has lived insight into what it’s like to exist outside the majority in a state like Ohio. I’ve lived in the Midwest my whole life, and I also come from a background of being raised by immigrant communities. I have experience working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, systemic-based trauma, and religious trauma. I believe it's crucial right now to prioritize decolonizing therapy, especially for QTBIPOC with intersecting marginalized identities.

I utilize process-based talk therapy with strong roots in DBT skills and concepts; to address our interconnected systems of brain and body.
You deserve a safe space to explore and understand who you are; beyond the labels and limitations. It's easy to get lost in the labyrinth of expectations; ones we hold of ourselves or those placed on us by others. I'm passionate about work rooted in identity exploration; helping you get to know and appreciate your authentic self. I work well with clients who have a wide emotional range, clients who are often told they're "too much" or "too emotional." I also work well with overfunctioners, perfectionists, and people pleasers. Together, we'll uncover the skills and strategies to help you find the balance you deserve.
