About My Clients
I want to understand the culture, family, relationships, and unwritten rules that shaped you—including the beliefs you inherited that might not actually belong to you. We’ll get curious about what’s keeping you stuck (and probably call out some bullshit along the way). I’m LGBTQ+ affirming, sex-positive, and deeply committed to creating a space where all of you is welcome—gender, sexuality, relationships, messy parts, contradictions, and the stuff you’re still figuring out.
My Background and Approach
I’m not a sit-back-and-nod therapist. I’m engaged, interactive, curious, and very human. Expect humor, raw empathy, thoughtful challenges, and the occasional well-timed swear word. Therapy with me is work—you should expect to feel stretched and encouraged to look honestly at what may be keeping you stuck. I’m a feminist personally and professionally, and that lens is central to my work. We’ll pay attention to your story and to the power, gender, relationships, culture, and systems that helped shape it. My approach draws from Narrative Therapy, CPT, and trauma-informed attachment work, particularly with complex trauma and PTSD. We’ll explore what happened, how you learned to survive it, and which survival strategies have overstayed their welcome. The goal isn’t to “fix” you—it’s to understand your story and give you more freedom to choose what comes next. I earned my MS in Professional Counseling from Georgia State after studying Psychology at UGA.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My allyship with the queer community isn’t just something I put in a therapist bio—it’s personal. I’m a parent, sibling, business partner, and friend to queer people who have shaped who I am and how I understand the world. I volunteer at PRIDE events and pursue continuing education because being affirming requires ongoing listening, learning, and showing up. I also believe politics is in everything. We don’t develop in a vacuum; systems, institutions, power, privilege, and cultural norms shape how we understand ourselves and each other—sometimes in healthy ways and sometimes in deeply harmful ones. I support Black Lives Matter, racial and social justice, and organizations working to improve the mental health and wellbeing of BIPOC communities. These values aren’t separate from how I practice therapy; they inform how I understand people, their stories, and the world they’re navigating.
