I aim to create a collaborative and compassionate environment during sessions, and I am comitted to providing a non-judgmental and affirming approach to my practice.
I received my two Bachelor’s degrees in Sociology and Communication Studies and directly continued to pursue my Master's of Social Work at the University of Georgia. I've previously worked in various settings including a domestic violence agency and shelter, an outpatient partial hospitalization service, and home and school-based community mental health counseling. I've been practicing therapy in private practice for the last 3 years.
My approach to therapy involves drawing upon an integration of social justice beliefs and my own experiences. I am queer identified and gender-nonconforming. I have learned firsthand the importance of what community, compassion, and advocacy provide in the healing experience, both personally and professionally.
In my free time, I enjoy exploring any local hidden gems (particularly a good thrift store or café), spending time with my rescue pups, or diving into whichever gaming, tabletop, or book fantasy world that has caught my attention lately.
