About My Clients

Updated 3/27/23-current openings for new clients. Taking a meaningful look at our day-to-day lives and pasts can be daunting-let’s create a tender and safe atmosphere to wade through this process together. Too often, our mental health challenges are reduced to diagnosis, labels, and text-book definitions that don’t quite fit—my approach departs from these systems and is more rooted in holistic and relational healing.

My Background and Approach

During our time together you will be met with a caring presence and guidance to honor your own inner wisdom and healing. I trust your experience and understanding of your world around you. Together we can mindfully work towards establishing a sense of peace and authenticity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I identify as queer. I am cis, white, straight-sized, and able-bodied. I continuously work to evaluate personal gain from privileged identities I hold in effort to be an anti-racist, gender affirming, and disability affirming human. I believe in delineating traditional power structures that are found in medicine and therapy. My quality time is spent being an amateur saxophone player, hanging with my wife and dog, or searching for the best ramen in the area!

I offer online counseling in the following states:
