Hello there! Taking the necessary steps toward finding a therapist and starting therapy can be so intimidating. Give yourself credit for getting this far! I believe therapy is the most impactful when you have a genuine and meaningful connection with your therapist and because of this, I prioritize building compassionate and trusting relationships. My approach is rooted in an identity-affirming and trauma-informed framework and I strive to create a welcoming and empowering environment for all individuals.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, or wanting to process your own lived experience, we will navigate these challenges and topics together using therapeutic approaches tailored to your individual needs.
I am a human first which comes with its own unique and systemic challenges. I am happiest when I am hiking or backpacking and I never underestimate the profoundly healing properties of spending time in nature. I love spending time with my wife, traveling, and learning new things.
