I primarily work with client's who are gender diverse, queer, or otherwise part of the LGBTQIA community. I also work with those who are neurodiverse.

I often use Motivational Interviewing and CBT based methods, however, the modalities we use are chosen based on each client's individual needs. I aim to meet you where you are at without judgement and our work together is collaborative. My approach tends to be more conversational, rather than having a strict structure.
