About Me

Hi there! I'm Matthew, your friendly, queer, non-binary, neurodivergent location-independent counselor.

I spent much of my early life attempting to fit in and trying to understand how people and society work. As I embraced my own identities and lived experience, I've been able to understand myself more and able to see how I really want to show up in the world. Knowing my values and what aligns with my way of existing allowed me to connect more fully with my community and the world at large. 

My Values and Approach

I believe in the fundamental worth and value of every person and because of that I believe in the need to end systems and structures that disadvantage the many to benefit the few. I have over a decade of experience providing counseling to a wide array of clients in many different settings. These experiences helped me to see how counseling can guide us to reclaim our authenticity and connection to each other.

Balancing Act

In true Libran style, I think about balance and beauty a lot, seeking out possibilities for growth and challenge. My sessions are infused with encouragement, compassion, and accountability to helping you find equilibrium in your journey towards self-discovery and healing.

Beyond the Counseling Room

When I'm not counseling, you'll find me traveling the world. I find joy in reading, creating art, getting into nature, and exploring history—activities that help keep me dancing through life and growing alongside the people who matter most to me.
