Diversity in Practice

As a therapist I understand the importance of emotional safety and acceptance to my clients. As a white middle-class, cis hetero female living and working on former Shawnee lands, I realize and acknowledge the privileges that have been granted to me and denied to others, and I’m committed to doing what I can to leveling playing fields, wherever I find them. I want to building a practice that is inclusive and accepting of all cultures, races, ethnicities, and gender and sexual identities and expressions. I believe that families come in all shapes and forms and configurations. You’ll see that throughout my website I use the term intimate partnerships instead of “couples” or “marriage” because I don’t believe counseling is limited to dyads with a certificate. And I use “they” instead of he/she, which I acknowledge causes injuries to proper grammar but is less harmful to humans. I have a deep personal commitment to ongoing professional training in anti-racism, LGBTQ+ affirmation, sexual and gender diversity, and ethnic inclusivity, as well as to my own personal awareness and growth.
