Clay is a humanistic therapist who believes in the innate healing power of self-expression and the body’s natural capacity to heal when met with compassion. They create a non-judgmental, emotionally safe space where clients can explore their inner worlds, share their truths, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

Rooted in a trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and culturally responsive lens, Clay honors the unique intersection of identities that shape each person’s experience. They are passionate about empowering LGBTQIA2S+ communities, reducing income barriers to care, and destigmatizing substance addiction. Their commitment to anti-oppressive practice guides them in making therapy accessible, inclusive, and grounded in social justice values.

Drawing on experience across both private practice and residential treatment settings, Clay integrates somatic, cognitive, and emotional approaches to support holistic healing. Their work draws upon modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, polyvagal theory, attachment theory, existential therapy, and narrative therapy.

Clay approaches each session with authentic compassion, unconditional positive regard, and empathic curiosity. They view therapy as a collaborative process of remembering one’s wholeness, a journey toward self-trust, empowerment, and deeper connection to life.
