About My Clients
My ideal clients are struggling with self-acceptance of their bodies and themselves. They have forgotten the sound of their voice and the feeling of joy in their journey. In our therapy sessions, we work together to unlearn what society taught them, and how to move forward in this world with a new found self-acceptance and love, mindful of their own cultural contexts.
My Background and Approach
I have experience utilizing CBT, ACT, DBT, attachment theory, somatic therapy, and expressive therapy, such as art and gardening. I am an LGBTQIA+ and neuro affirming counselor. I work with teenagers, adults, and children (case-by-case basis)
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My core values are authenticity, justice, compassion, and community. I believe therapy is a radical act of self-care and I center my counseling space to be safe, nonjudgmental and anti-racist so that it is a place of healing and growth. My counseling approach is de-colonial, strengths-based, and rooted in relational cultural therapy. I believe human growth occurs through safe, mutual connections, while honoring a person’s cultural experience through individual and broader systemic lenses. By the same token, I believe diagnosing holds its value and utilize evidence-based diagnosis when appropriate. I integrate counseling interventions to fit my clients’ needs while maintaining a trauma-informed approach. I have experience utilizing CBT, ACT, DBT, attachment theory, somatic therapy, and expressive arts therapy, such as art and gardening.
