Graduate Therapist

I’m a graduate student at Capella University pursuing a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and taking play therapy courses so I can work towards my certification upon becoming licensed.

I believe that there is no concrete approach to counseling because every client is different, but I do utilize techniques from modern feminist theory, queer theory, person-centered theory, cognitive-behavioral theory, and the body liberation movement. I am a nonbinary, queer person who previously worked with teenagers as a high school teacher, and I am passionate about helping those who are neurodivergent, queer, and marginalized in and out of the counseling room.

I am happily married to an amazing woman, and we have three cats and three dogs. Outside of work, I enjoy playing games, reading books, writing stories, and going to the beach.

I got into this work because I want to be the kind of person that the nervous, confused, queer person like myself needed when I was a child, and I want to be that for others, as well.
