More about Rudi
- 5 years' experience
- Non-binary
- LPCC
I am an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist and a member of the queer community, helping clients create meaning, peace, and growth through trauma and life transitions. I work with LGBTQIA+ individuals, those exploring gender expression, neurodivergent clients (ADHD, Autistic, AuDHD), and those managing trauma, depression, or anxiety. I also support people in non-traditional relationship dynamics and value every relationship configuration. My approach incorporates mindfulness, coping skills, and strengths-based counseling to help improve overall quality of life.
