I show up as a curious, thoughtful, grounded and compassionate sounding board and guide. It is vitally important to me to bring integrity, playfulness, spaciousness, insight, and earnest curiosity into every session. I offer competent queer/LGBTQ+ therapy and coaching for those who want real, meaningful change without having to justify their identity or educate their provider. If you're ready, I’m here to support you, whether in person in Philadelphia, remotely across Pennsylvania or Delaware, or anywhere with a phone or wifi through coaching.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

First we will have a 15-20 minute phone consultation to make sure that it seems like a good fit.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I was born and raised in the Philadelphia suburbs, and am white, queer, and trans-masculine genderqueer. From 2014 to 2020, I lived in Oakland, California. Since 2020, I've happily made Philly my landing spot and home again. Before I began pursuing a career in counseling, I practiced as a photographer, and still do today. Regardless of which hat I'm wearing, I tend to work in the spaces between shadow and light, and seek creative ways to redirect and shift focus.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with people who are sorting through who they are and how they want to show up in the world. That might look like untangling identity, emotional baggage, anxiety, or neurodivergence - or working through grief, religious trauma, relationship shifts, or just feeling stuck. I’ve supported artists, caregivers, SWers, and other entrepreneurs, along with folks navigating non-traditional relationship structures like non-monogamy or kink dynamics. A lot of what I do comes down to building gut trust, setting boundaries that can stick, and figuring out what matters to you (not just in theory, but in practice). We are often taught to separate our intellect from our emotions. For each individual or couple I work with, I look to facilitate a chance to build a healthy relationship with emotions – especially those that we are usually told to squash. Our emotions will often present themselves in physical manifestations, and our bodies can affect our thoughts. I welcome your weirdness.
