Why I do what I do
I’ve done all kinds of social work, but I find being a therapist deeply fulfilling. I’ve done my own work in therapy, and I have an appreciation of the process from the perspective of both client and clinician.
As someone who grew up neurodivergent and queer in the South, I know what it’s like to feel like you don’t fit in. And I know what it’s like to feel like there’s nowhere you can really be yourself and be accepted. I’m honored to now be able to offer a safe space for clients to explore who they are and what they want.
Who I work with
I work mostly with people who are navigating all the transitions and existential questions that come around in midlife. Clients come to me when they have worked hard to build the life thought they wanted, but aren’t enjoying it now that they have it. Things look great on paper, but on the inside my clients are wondering if all the work has been worth it. Some of them know they want to start over but they don’t know how.
My practice is a welcome space for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folks. If you’re a part of these communities, you’ll find sessions with me a safe, affirming space. As a social worker, a central pillar of my practice is anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and I work through an anti-oppressive, justice-oriented lens. This means that while we’ll talk about individual choices and responsibilities, we’ll also consider the impact that larger systems have on what you’re experiencing.
