Meet Blake

I am very passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ and Trans+ populations. One of the reasons I became a counselor was after working with a transgender friend in the military, learning about their transition process, and helping them with the social challenges they had to face. We work together on committing to actions that align with their values, fostering a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide clients in accepting their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them or feeling guilty about them.
