I have over 5 years of clinical experience working with individuals who possess multiple marginalized identities who have carried the burden of personal, generational, and institutional trauma and have had to step into roles or identities that don't embrace their full personhood. My ideal client is someone who is ready to move out of survival mode and into more actualized living.
I take a collaborative and person-centered approach, working alongside you to co-create a space where you feel safe being your full self, unapologetically. I believe that you are the expert of your experience, and my role is to guide you to a deeper understanding and appreciation of yourself and to help you build the skills needed to create the life you desire.
I am an interactive therapist, meaning I greatly value your voice and feedback and encourage you to be vocal about what you feel is beneficial and non-beneficial to you in session.
I am also an eclectic and humanistic therapist, meaning I to not utilize a single modality and I do not practice "blank slate" therapy. I move through different modalities and approaches, based on each client's specific treatment goals and needs in the moment. Additionally, I make sure my clients know that they are sitting across from a real person who feels and understands the weight of what they are sharing and the vulnerability it takes to show up in this space by reacting and engaging actively and authentically.
In our time together, you can expect to find a deeper understanding of and respect for your full self, build and learn new skills that will help you feel more confident navigating life and relationships, and step into a life that feels more freeing and comfortable for you.
You can expect me to bring humor, support, curiosity, empowerment, and most importantly, genuine care, into the space as I help to guide you towards your goals.
