I (pronouns: he/they) believe that the relationship between therapist and counselor is one of the best tools for supporting change and making progress. The relational dynamic should be interactive, relying on the expertise that both the client and therapist will bring to the relationship. I take a client-centered approach to therapy, and rely on theoretical frameworks and techniques found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I bring to the table experiences related to queer and kink communities and neurodivergences. I know that therapy doesn’t happen in a vacuum and recognize that political and world events may impact a person’s life experiences. I believe it’s important to address the power dynamics that exist in the therapeutic space that we create, and examine how our individual identities may present and impact the therapeutic relationship.
