I practice with the priorities of intersectionality, antiracism, and feminism. I use these values in my approach to therapy with others and I work diligently to acknowledge my privilege and learn from my clients how and what they need to heal.
I have been a social worker for most of my adult life with the intention of working toward social justice and equality. In my journey, I have found that these ideals can be achieved by not only working with communities but by also working with individuals, couples, and families. I strongly believe helping one person helps us all and that has led me to become a licensed clinical social worker and a therapist in private practice.
In my clinical practice, I use various types of therapies to achieve the healing my patients require. I am very open, honest, and forthcoming and will go where my clients want to go in our weekly sessions. I believe in informed consent and value educating my clients on various techniques and methods to ensure they feel comfortable and safe in the therapeutic space. In short, I follow my client’s lead in what they want to accomplish so that they may heal.
