There is beauty and empowerment in this idea of reciprocity. But sometimes the world does not choose us, in very painful and tangible ways. A person or group of people can imbue meaning onto your race, gender, sexuality, religion, neurodiversity and countless other characteristics, often in ways that reject rather than embrace you.

I strive to be a counselor who recognizes this dynamic and invites you to bring it into our room so we can examine, grieve, process, and take action as needed.
