I have been working with LGBTQ+ folks my entire professional life. I started out as a group facilitator leading educational groups on LGBTQ+ identities and experiences in 2013, and soon after, I began facilitating support groups for trans and queer young adults. Since then, in my roles as a crisis counselor, survivor advocate, and therapist, I have especially enjoyed working with queer and trans clients. As a queer, nonbinary clinician, it is important to me to do what I can to create a space where clients with marginalized identities can feel safe enough to show up as their authentic selves.

If you are a helping professional looking for guidance on how to best support students, patients, or clients in the LGBTQ+ community, I would love to help you on your journey! I provide individualized consultation services to meet you where you are in your learning process. This could mean anything from reviewing terminology and discussing or practicing inclusive language, to providing case consultation to help you explore how to best support queer and trans clients on your caseload.

I also enjoy bringing expressive therapy techniques, such as psychodrama, into the consultation space. This can involve using improvisational and role-reversal techniques to help you explore what it would feel like to try out new language, or step into the shoes of a client with identities or experiences different from your own.
