About My Clients
I have experience working with adjustment disorders, anxiety, attention deficit (ADHD), autism spectrum, adolescents, depression, developmental disorders, dissociative disorders, substance use disorders, BIPOC populations and LGBTQIAP+ populations. I specialize in discussing the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality. Therapy with me is ideal for clients who are interested in developing self-awareness and coping skills and generalizing those skills across environments.
My Background and Approach
In therapy, I adopt a trauma-informed, relationship-based, and restorative justice approach. This means I consider your past experiences, prioritize building a meaningful connection with you, and view disruptive behaviors as signals of unmet needs and opportunities for personal growth. Together, we can work to accept reality on reality's terms and untangle worries that can feel overwhelming to do alone. We can work in a way that finds comfort in your natural strength in order to help you sit in your own genius and power. By leveraging your inherent power, we can cultivate resiliency, achieve a balance between responsibilities, self-care, and personal fulfillment, and empower you to make meaningful changes in your life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Anybody who has ever felt bullied knows what it means to feel like everyone in the room is against you. One of the best things a therapist can help you with, is to equip the tools needed to understand yourself and others to navigate life long after you've left therapy. Radical authenticity and pragmatic agency includes recognizing the institutional barriers impacting our lived experience. Tools like self reevaluation, consciousness raising and environmental reevaluation go a long way to help understand why particular situations are upsetting. Processing on how to intervene on your own behalf can mean all the difference in difficult times. Resiliency is not just a trait you are born with – Resiliency is a skill that can be cultivated and nurtured.
