About My Clients
Through my professional journey, I have come to feel the strongest passion in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults in exploring personal identities and expressions, particularly in relation to gender, sexuality, consensual non-monogamy/polyamory, and kink. I have also received training in and am very passionate about providing the service of Gender Affirming Letter writing.
My Background and Approach
I am passionate about connecting with others and offering a welcoming, non-judgmental space for folks to not only heal from past wounds, but also learn how to thrive as their unique selves. I believe that you are the expert on you, and we will work together to determine a treatment plan and approach that fits your personalized needs. Over the last 8 years as a clinical counselor, I have worked to develop an integrative approach to therapy, with aspects of CBT, DBT, ACT, Gottman Method, person-centered, existential, and feminist modalities. I spent the majority of my career working at a non-profit community mental health agency, where I was able to provide direct client care, supervise emerging counselors in the field, conduct professional trainings, and serve as a member of the agency's leadership team. I simultaneously started working in a group private practice environment, where I decided to settle down and shift my full-time focus to after 5 years of independent practice.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a queer-identifying therapist I feel strongly connected to working with the LGBTQ+ community and am determined to be a lifelong learner in embracing cultural humility, understanding the complex nature of intersectionality, and advocating for racial justice. For the last 8 years I've called small-town Delaware, OH my home, and I am a proud board member for Delaware Ohio Pride.
