As the rainbow sheep from a wealthy, white suburb, I have grown happily accustomed to shutting up, sitting down, listening, and always seeking to learn. Having grown up as an outlier in a southern conservative religious environment, I found a home in fantasy and science fiction. I still belong there and have discovered new loves along the way: comic books, superheroes, TTRPGs, board games, and other wonderfully nerdy things. Even now, I find that so much from my favorite fictional worlds can translate into real life and into therapy. I primarily work with adults as well as older adolescents in individual therapy. I am especially interested in working with queer and gender-diverse populations, religious disaffiliates and those with adverse religious experiences, and nerdy/geeky folks. My therapeutic approach is a lot like me and probably like you too: eclectic, creative, colorful, compassionate, and always a work in progress. In more clinical terms, I bring the lenses of narrative, acceptance and commitment, relational-cultural, feminist, dialectical behavioral, and humanist therapies into the counseling space.
