My Approach to Helping
My approach is to provide a collaborative and exploratory experience when working together on challenges or issues at hand.
I understand the importance of providing a non-judgmental and secure space, and implement anti-oppressive. anti-black and multi-culturally literate lenses when understanding individual experiences. I enjoy pulling from my degree in Sexuality Studies in understanding clients from a unique and individual level, meeting them where they are instead of expectations of where they "ought" to be.
More Info About My Practice
I currently provide psychotherapy online and at an affordable rate because accessing psychotherapy should not feel impossible. I provide the option for a sliding scale to make therapy more accessible.
My approaches consist of providing a space to lean into struggles and explore experiences collaboratively. Foundationally I lead from a person-centered and narrative approach, with additional tools and techniques implemented from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Solution-Focused perspectives.
I enjoy working with challenges around anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, identity, relationships, and other significant barriers that could be historic in their origin and deep in their meaning. My goal is to allow the space for deeper self understanding and uncovering of insights that once felt invisible, thus leading the way to a unique and self-discovered resolution related to the overcoming of the challenge.
