am I good fit for you?
Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable and safe with is extremely important for the therapeutic relationship to work but you also deserve to find someone that is a good fit with you human to human. Here’s a bit more about me so that you can get to know me and the way I operate as a therapist to see if we’d be a good match.

Owner/Therapist
If you are browsing my page, you have already taken one of the most important steps in your process for growth and change. I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own life and experiences, so finding the right therapist for you is an important part in your therapy journey. I try to be empathetic in my practice, where I make every effort to meet people where they are at and partner with you to meet therapeutic goals. Serving people of all ages, I feel that fostering a supportive, strengths-based, and non-judgmental environment, can continue to build upon coping skills while increasing self-reflection that can help to improve quality of life.
I promote the idea that learning more about how our experiences have influenced our relationships and the way we move through the world, can help us to navigate through the barriers that we face. My approach to therapy is collaborative and relaxed, emphasizing on building self-compassion through exploring patterns and learning more about yourself. While everyone’s experiences are unique and their own, My aim is to provide a culturally sensitive and inclusive environment for all people while using a combination of therapeutic modalities that best align with your self-determined goals.
areas of focus.
There is so much beauty and complexity in intersectionality and I love to explore identity with people of all different walks of life. Whether you are exploring a new identity, an identity you’ve always held, or a few that overlap with each other, I am a therapist that won’t try to fit you neatly into a box. I am interested in working with many different client populations and with a variety of topics. Below are some of my more prevalent areas of expertise.
LGBTQ+.
I pride myself on being a member, ally and clinician that serves as a safe, welcoming and patient presence for anyone who identifies within the LGBTQ+ community. I specialize in working with Trans and GNC folks no matter where you are throughout your journey and process.
Trauma.
I work from a trauma-informed lens and am always mindful of this as I am working with people. Understanding how our experiences have impacted the way we move through the world is an extremely important part of trying to figure out how to move forward in the ways that work best for us.
Serious & Persistant mental illness.
I have over 8 years of experience working in community mental health and am passionate about helping folks navigate the unique and challenging barriers that come with a serious and persistent mental illness. Some of these include but are not limited to, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder and other disorders including psychosis. Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
Get to know me better.
harv.
I am a parent to a very handsome fur baby named Harvey. This dude travelled all the way up to Minnesota with his siblings from Texas due to the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey (I was creative with his name, I know). He likes to tear stuffed animals apart and carry their carcasses around with him for months as though it is his best friend in the whole world. My wife would throw them out immediately but I think he deserves to live his best life and that is what makes him happiest.
scary movies.
When my wife is gone and I’m home alone with no responsibilities and no where to be, my absolute favorite way to spend my time is to cozy up in the pitch black with a bowl of popcorn and watch scary movies. Some people think that’s weird, but it keeps me grounded and for some reason is a big anxiety reliever for me!
cooking.
Growing up, cooking was something that brought my family together. As I got older and started to enjoy cooking for myself, my family was flabbergasted because I was the pickiest eater and wouldn’t eat anything other than chicken fingers and pizza rolls. Now I even eat onions sometimes. Always room for growth I guess!
