My Background and Approach
While I have been practicing social work for the past 10 years since earning my MSW, I worked with adults, children, and families and in the mental health and human services fields combined for over 20 years. My primary experience has been providing individual therapy, family therapy, and parent/ caregiver consultation. I use an eclectic approach, tailored specifically to meet your unique needs. Some of the theories, models, and strategies that I utilize or draw from include attachment theory, the ARC model, object relations theory and other relational psychodynamic theories, theories of child development, a liberatory health framework, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, structural family therapy, play therapy, mindfulness and compassion, critical race theory, social and emotional skills building, Dan Hughes' Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy model, trauma and emotion focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and more.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My social justice values are at the core of the services I provide. I am a member of the LGBTQIA community. I have lived experience around issues related to class and socioeconomic oppression. I have participated in the BLM movement. I am dedicated to continuously learning about privilege, identity, and oppression and showing up in order to fight for social justice to the best of my ability within myself, my practice, and the world at large. I believe in health at every size and I am also passionate about children's rights, climate justice, animal rights, and global human rights. If you are looking for warm, non-judgmental, and accepting support, I am just one free call away. Together, we can collaborate to transform your concerns into action and compassion!
