LGBT+

It is possible that the first class I ever took toward becoming a  therapist was coming out as a gay man in the South in the late 80s. I  have moved through the world with my own set of privileges and  disadvantages, as we all do, and I do all I can to be mindful of what  this means when helping others. I know that the challenges I have faced  aren't the same as those of my clients, but they are a basis for  understanding we can build on.

Serving the LGBT/queer community is a part of my work life that brings me pride and satisfaction, though it's not exclusively who I see.
