About My Clients
For the past 5 years I have worked with teens and adults that are faced with the challenges of being marginalized in a world that does not feel safe for them. I work hard to connect with each person and tailor our work towards their needs and interests.
My Background and Approach
Do you know the challenge of feeling alone, not having representation of your identities, constantly having to speak up or speak out, and maybe even avoiding life becasue it is dangerous and exhausting? This can cause extreme anxiety, exhaustion, symptoms of depression, withdrawal from others, and fear. All of these are things I invite into the room because social justice counseling is about more than just the individual person. Therapy, historically, has been a white, cis-male, straight profession. I challenge that in every way that I can by prioritizing anti-racism and decolonizing therapy. I will identify my own areas of privilege and oppression and always educate myself to better understand your identities.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I work from a systems perspective. This means that I believe if we can connect with your support systems to increase your healing, why wouldn’t we? With your consent, I can work with family systems, school systems, and work places to help support your growth. One on One therapy is wonderful, but if we can get the systems you are a part of to support you as well, I think that is even better! Reach out to learn more!
