In office and virtual clinician

As a queer southerner living with a chronic health condition, I am deeply attuned to the challenges that come with navigating intersecting identities, especially in environments where systemic barriers and discrimination can feel overwhelming. I understand the isolation that can stem from being queer in the south, particularly when lawmakers enact policies that negatively impact our health and well-being. My goal is to create a space where we can brainstorm ways to resist these pressures, fostering resilience and overall wellness.

I also recognize the importance of setting boundaries in relationships, particularly with family, as an essential part of maintaining emotional health. I’m here to help you explore and navigate these complex dynamics, working together to identify what boundaries might look like for you.

My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Feminist Theory, and Queer Theory, but my focus is always on tailoring therapy to meet the unique needs of each client. I place a strong emphasis on building and maintaining a supportive therapeutic alliance, regularly checking in to ensure that you feel heard, affirmed, and comfortable in our work together. I believe that genuine connection is key to fostering meaningful growth and healing.

Whether addressing systemic stressors, personal identity, or relational challenges, my approach is always affirming, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own experience. I look forward to meeting you!

My fee for counseling is $150 for 50 minutes.
