About My Clients

I prioritize moving at each client's individual pace and following their lead in order to fulfill their goals and desired change. I will prioritize cultural responsiveness, recognize societal barriers, and hold space for the complex identities that exist within each of us. You are the expert of your experience and it is an honor to witness and sit with you in the unraveling, rediscovering and healing of your journey and truth.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic approach is rooted in affirmative acceptance and commitment therapy, intersectionality and mindfulness based theories. This entails practicing acceptance, committed action and value-guided behaviors. In practice, this looks like a deep dive into navigating what matters most to clients and having them live out these values in daily life. Throughout my work with folxs, we will aim to develop forms of self-acceptance and infuse ways to break free from shame cycles and normative pressures.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe and empowering space by actively recognizing oppressive systems. My practice embraces gender affirmation for all identities and is guided by liberation therapy principles. I work collaboratively with clients to challenge societal norms and foster individual and collective healing.
