Counseling and Supervision As a counselor and supervisor, I offer a warm, engaged, direct, and compassionate presence for individuals who want to live and work with greater authenticity, acceptance, and vitality. My approach supports the ongoing processes of becoming and belonging—deepening insight, learning to attune to our own inherent wisdom, and gently welcoming even the parts of ourselves that have felt challenging or unwanted. Despite the messages many of us have received, I believe we each carry deep intelligence, resilience, and creative possibilities for growth. I believe that when we take committed action aligned with our values, meaningful change becomes both visible and felt. I aim to meet you where you are and to collaboratively create a map that supports your growth in therapy and in supervision. My work is rooted in relational-cultural, attachment-based, transfeminist, and experiential approaches. This means I understand healing as something that happens in relationship, and I trust the present moment as a rich source of information and opportunity. Often, growth asks us to slow down, tune in, and sit with ourselves long enough for new possibilities to emerge. I hold each person as complex and interconnected—physically, emotionally, spiritually, and in community. I openly acknowledge the impact of systems of domination, including white supremacy, racism, transphobia, misogyny, classism, ableism, and fatphobia, on individual wellbeing and access to care. I believe ethical and competent counseling and supervision require ongoing reflection, accountability, and learning. I commit to this through my own supervision, consultation, training, and continuing education. In my role as a clinical supervisor, I integrate an intersectional and transfeminist framework alongside the Integrative Developmental Model (IDM) to support counselors at all stages of development. I received my master’s training in clinical mental health counseling from Antioch University New England in Keene, New Hampshire, and completed advanced postgraduate training at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado. I have been practicing as a counselor since 2011, serving individuals and communities in school settings, community mental health, and private practice. My clinical training includes foundational exposure and response prevention (ERP) training for OCD-related concerns and Levels 1 and 2 EMDR training with Mark Nickerson. I work from a trauma-aware, developmental, relational, and phase-based approach across all areas of my professional work. Trainings, Research, Consulting, and Organizational Work I am a doctoral candidate (PhD) in Counselor Education and Supervision at Antioch University Seattle, with advanced training in clinical counseling, group facilitation, teaching praxis, and applied research. My current research focuses on the development of a postpartum assessment scale for transgender and gender nonconforming (TNG) people, as well as understanding the reproductive healthcare experiences of TNG individuals in the U.S. South. Across my work, I am especially committed to naming and addressing institutional harm and the ways it becomes embodied through gendered, racialized, and identity-based interpersonal violence. Previously, I served as Program Director and clinical teaching faculty in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at Antioch University New England. In that role, I developed curriculum and courses aligned with CACREP accreditation standards and taught master’s-level students. I also facilitate trainings and workshops for students, faculty, and community organizations. My workshops, trainings, and speaking engagements have included topics such as gender justice; developmental and complex trauma; affirming clinical practice with queer, transgender, and nonbinary communities; working with trans Latiné immigrants; responding to anti-DEI legislation; broaching multiculturalism in counseling; and addressing power, identity, and relational dynamics in clinical supervision through intersectional frameworks.
