I am passionate about working with clients from marginalized communities and see their needs with the understanding that society creates different kinds of struggles based on identities they hold. I am especially passionate about working with those seeking therapy for the first time, cycle breakers disrupting generational trauma, QPOC and those in recovery.
I see clients and their presenting issue(s) through a trauma-informed lens. Knowing that some behaviors are for survival, I use a harm reduction approach CBT and psychoanalysis to understand the root of these behaviors and transition to thoughts and behaviors that better serve the client.
I am humbled by those who make the choice to try to change. Coming from communities where therapy was frowned upon I open my door even wider for those willing to separate themselves from the stigma those communities (rightfully) may hold. I invite those curious to know if therapy is right for them to see what we can do together.
