About My Clients
I am Love Positive Counseling's resident child and adolescent (9-18yo) specialist. I integrate expressive arts and play therapy interventions to help LGBTQ+ children and adolescents better understand themselves. I especially love helping children and teenagers communicate more effectively with family members and peers to foster empathy and understanding. I also work with adults that are exploring their gender and/or sexuality, non-monogamy, and kink.
My Background and Approach
I approach therapy from a place of empathy, respect, and cultural humility. My goal is to empower you to make informed, confident decisions about your life and relationships, while creating a therapeutic space that is affirming of all identities and experiences. In my work with all ages I primarily use intersectional feminist therapy, meaning we reexamine societal norms and your experiences through a queer and feminist lens to support you in embodying your true self. I also utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my work. My career is informed by experience with my personal journey as a transmasc, queer and polyamorous person, plus my experience volunteering with local LGBTQ+ and ENM community organizations for over 8 years.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am involved in the LGBTQ+ and polyamorous communities. I've volunteered with several local organizations and nonprofits over the years. From 2015 to 2022, I volunteered with LDOD, the Atlanta Rocky Horror Picture Show cast, and that experience shaped me a lot as a person and as a member of the community. I've volunteered with Atlanta Polyamory to facilitate the online support group. I also volunteer with Usagi Medical Group to provide first aid level mental health care at conventions. I have also started volunteering as a part of the safety team at DragonCon, one of Atlanta's largest conventions.
