"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less."

About Me:
Come laugh. Come cuss. Come cry. We're going to get through this. I've considered using the tag line "Candid Counseling: both a promise and a warning". I believe in the healing and bonding power of laughter, and I believe in being real. Being present. I don't think I can ask honesty and presence from my clients if I'm not willing to offer the same. I'm prone to cracking jokes and swearing, balanced with quiet presence and warm acceptance. I am a welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable mental health counselor for individuals who are members of under-served and marginalized communities, with a particular focus on the Kink, Poly, and LGBTQ populations. Come to a place where you are seen and heard for who you are, without having to explain or defend your identity, lifestyle, or sexuality. I hold space for those who are in need of therapeutic services but don't want to spend their time educating their mental health provider, and shouldn't have to cope with their identity or choices being misunderstood or vilified. I have both professional and personal experience with the communities I serve. Whether you are challenged by our current world environment, you are suffering from some acute loss or pain in your own life, or you have struggled with mental health your entire life, I strive to work with you collaboratively to explore and heal your wounds. |
