Hello! My name is Joe, and I proudly identify as a cisgender, gay male. Advocating for inclusivity and empowerment within the LGBTQ+ community is not just a passion but a core aspect of my identity. As a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) with a Master of Professional Studies in Integrated Behavioral Health from the University of Minnesota, coupled with my current status as a Pre-Licensed Mental Health Professional, I bring a comprehensive understanding and diverse skill set to my therapeutic space. Having previously served at a residential treatment facility tailored to LGBTQ+ individuals, I have honed my expertise in substance use and mental health treatment within this community. My commitment to ongoing growth and learning ensures that I remain adept in various specialties.

In our sessions, you will find a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your identity, values, and aspirations. Utilizing an array of therapeutic modalities, I place particular emphasis on a humanistic and person-centered approach. This means that together, we will delve into the depths of your experiences, understand your unique perspective, and collaboratively chart a path forward. My aim is not only to support you in overcoming challenges but also to empower you to embrace your authentic self.
