About My Clients
I work with clients ages 12 and up who want to feel empowered and capable in their lives. My clients come from all backgrounds and are in different stages in their lives. I enjoy working with adolescents and the LGBTQ+ community, and especially enjoy working with queer teens. I value authenticity and encourage open and honest communication with my clients.
My Background and Approach
I try to show up authentically each session to show that I am a person just like you. I don’t pretend to be an expert because YOU are the expert on your life, not me. My therapeutic environment is based on equality between me and my clients. You should feel respected and heard as an individual and not as “Client X with X diagnosis.” I prioritize earning my clients' trust - which is a privilege, not a right - because therapy is personal, and I want to support you where you are. I tend to use a lot of humor and affirming acceptance in sessions to make the process more comfortable.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in respect, kindness, and social justice. As a queer woman, I am well aware of how the social constructs of gender norms inform how people are expected to act. I value advocacy and encourage clients to be their own advocates.
