About My Clients

I have a strong commitment to providing an inclusive, affirming, and non-judgmental therapeutic space for all my clients. My practice is built on the belief that everyone deserves a space where they can explore their authentic selves without fear of judgment. My approach is rooted in cultural humility, and I specialize in supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, specifically those who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community, those exploring their kink and BDSM identities, and individuals.

My Background and Approach

As a Marine Corps veteran and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, I offer a unique and compassionate perspective to my practice. With over a decade of experience, my background includes firsthand knowledge of the unique challenges faced by veterans, service members, and their families. As a queer and affirming therapist, I also provide a supportive, judgment-free space for individuals navigating issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBTQ+ identity. I am also lifestyle-friendly and kink-aware. My Approach Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. That's why I use an integrative, collaborative approach that includes person-centered, solution-focused, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral techniques. I will support and collaborate with you as you work toward meeting your goals and living the quality of life you desire.
