My passion for specializing in Neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy stems from my own experiences as a gay and neurodivergent individual. I believe that understanding ourselves deeply empowers us to support and uplift others who share similar identities and experiences. Building therapeutic relationships with my clients is incredibly rewarding for me because it allows me to create a space where they feel seen, heard, and valued for who they truly are. Witnessing their growth, resilience, and self-discovery is profoundly fulfilling, and I am honored to walk alongside them on their journey toward healing.

My decision to become a therapist was deeply influenced by witnessing the mental health struggles of loved ones during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns. The experience ultimately compelled me to transition from being a research scientist to a therapist, driven by a desire to provide tangible support and guidance to those who are healing. What I uniquely offer clients in the therapy space is not only professional expertise but also a genuine understanding and empathy born from lived experience. I understand the complexities and nuances of identity, acknowledge the fear that accompanies change, and recognize the weight of the burdens we bear.

In therapy, I take a relational approach which starts by focusing on what your goals are for therapy, how I can help you reach them, and then having check-in conversations throughout the process. My therapeutic approach is eclectic which means I change what I do depending on your goals and comfort level, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused orientations.
