About My Clients

I have had the privilege of working with a diverse population of people, which has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals from various backgrounds. My extensive experience includes providing therapy for neurodivergent individuals and I am particularly committed to creating an affirming therapeutic environment for LGBTQIA individuals, including transgender clients.

My Background and Approach

In my practice, I focus on trauma-informed care, recognizing that many clients come to therapy with a history of experiences that have shaped their lives in profound ways. This approach allows me to foster a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore their feelings and challenges without fear of judgment. As we navigate the complexities of mental health together, I aim to empower individuals who are struggling with difficult life transitions or hardships in their relationships. My goal is to help them find their voice and reclaim their sense of agency in a world that can often feel overwhelming. I understand the intricate interplay between personal and systemic factors that influence mental health, and recognize that each person's journey is distinct, and I strive to meet you where you are. Through an explorative therapy process, I aim to help you uncover the roots of your struggles.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in utilizing a social justice framework in our therapeutic work. This means examining the intersections of society, politics, and mental health. This approach recognizes that individual experiences are influenced by broader social structures, including systemic inequalities and cultural narratives. By understanding how factors such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, and access to resources impact mental health, we can better address the challenges you face. In therapy, we can explore how these societal factors affect your identity, experiences, and well-being. This perspective encourages not only personal healing but also a deeper awareness of social dynamics. Together, we can work to empower you to navigate these complexities and advocate for your own needs, fostering both personal and collective resilience.
