Introduction

I am a graduate student in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Capella University, training to work with individuals, couples, and families from a systemic perspective. I have a particular interest in supporting clients who are LGBTQ2IA+ or consensually non-monogamous/polyamorous. Before entering the therapy field, I worked in theatre and film as a playwright and director, exploring themes of identity, relationships, and social context. I also bring experience from community-based advocacy and non-profit administration. I use they/he pronouns and identify as genderfluid, queer, and white. I believe that your life, your health, and your relationships are within your ability to direct towards your preferred outcomes through collaboration. My approach is grounded in narrative and collaborative practices, alongside systemic and relational thinking. I view problems as being something outside of people, shaped by relationships, cultures, and the stories people hold about themselves, rather than as inherent to individuals. I work collaboratively with clients to explore and re-author these stories, creating space for new meanings and possibilities. I aim to offer a respectful, curious, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can deepen their understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their context, and move toward lives that feel more self-directed and aligned with their preferences and values.
