As a queer therapist, I work through a client-centered, trauma-informed lens to build therapeutic rapport. I believe that prioritizing one's mental health is essential. I strive to empower clients to take up space and view their self-care as a priority, rather than a luxury.
I focus on client strengths and utilize a culturally competent, narrative approach to build trust and comfort. I believe that the therapeutic alliance has the potential to create a sense of safety and community that extends past the therapeutic space.
As a clinician with experience working with varied populations, I believe that while we are all impacted by trauma, we have the ability to change our narrative and break negative cycles that impact wellness.
