about me.
I don't think counselors and clients have to have the exact
same backgrounds, characteristics, or life experiences
to do powerful work together.
However, there are some areas that
might connect with you:
I am cisgender, white, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community
As an adoptee, I have experience with adoption
I have an extensive background in evangelical Christianity, and personal experience navigating faith after my values and identity meant something had to change
I have over 25 years of experience in disability-related rehabilitation counseling, particularly in vocational and career exploration
My counseling approaches are person-centered
and existential. I also practice ACT, a cognitive-behavioral theory based on living from ones values.
I am also becoming more familiar with Internal Family Systems theory.
