What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I am dedicated to social work as a practice of collaboration, compassion, and social justice.I typically use a combination of Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Compassion-focused therapy to support clients in meeting their personal goals in treatment. I utilized a systems-focused, anti-racist, and anti-colonial approach in addressing the impacts of social oppression, systemic injustices, community and individual resilience, and the lived realities and wisdom of one’s own lived experience and of one’s lineage of ancestors.
I have found that my style and approach is a good fit for children, teens, adults, and elders who are dealing with life transitions, self-exploration, navigating social pressures of living within intersectional identities, have survived trauma, and are looking to connect with their values and find their community. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma disorders, and neurodivergence. I work alongside clients to deeply reflect, sit with, and learn how to hold the multitude of their experiences in a more affirming and authentic way that works for the client.
Greetings fellow human,
I recognize how intimating the search for a therapist can be. I hope that you are being kind to yourself and allowing time to feel your feels. I am one of many options, and I hope you find what you need because you deserve care that holds all of you. I may be a good fit, if you're looking for a deep reflection, compassion, and inner clarity.
