First, I have worked with numerous mental health concerns: depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress management, relationship counseling, positive sexuality, and others. I am passionate about working with individuals who feel as if it is difficult to be truly seen, loved, and/or supported as their whole self? I see people as the intersectional individuals they are and try not to define anyone by one aspect of their identity or past experiences. If you identify as a marginalized individual who has had difficulty in finding a supportive counselor/therapist in the past, I would love the opportunity to be someone who incorporates your identity and culture within the counseling process. Specifically, I support and want to serve the LGBTQIAP+ community, especially individuals who have relationships that do not fit a societal mold for what constitutes a relationship. For polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous or BDSM/kinky, please consider giving me a chance. You may live outside of the cis-gendered, heteronormative, monogamistic, and "vanilla" world - but you are absolutely wonderful and unique and should never be defined by any of those acronyms. These aspects of you do not define you, but they are a vital part of who you are and should be celebrated.
