Great to meet you!

"Know all theories, master all techniques, but as you touch a human soul- be just another human soul." - C.G. Jung

I received my MSW from VCU in 2018 and have worked in a variety of settings including in-patient, home health and hospice, DOJ contract for ID/DD compliance, and have been in outpatient practice for the last 3 years. I specialize in complex/developmental trauma and provide affirming care to LGBTQ+/poly folks seeking support in their identities and relationships.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, blending somatic (polyvagal, Somatic Experiencing, etc) and cognitive (CBT, motivational interviewing, narrative, etc) modalities for holistic mind/body treatment. What happened to you isn't in your head- it's also in your muscles and gut. If you're looking for a therapist with a laidback, relational style- I'm your guy! I am also a member of the LGBTQ+ community and provide affirming care to trans folks seeking support for medical transition.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is for you to always feel better leaving session than you did walking in. Together, we'll help cultivate insight into the roots of your current struggles and compassion for all the ways in which you've been trying to survive them. My hope is to leave you feeling seen, heard, and humorously empowered!
