About My Clients

Do you feel like you're constantly battling stressors that others might not fully understand? Are you navigating the unique challenges faced by BIPOC and LGBTQ individuals, such as systemic issues and discrimination? I understand the weight you carry—the pressure of societal expectations, the microaggressions, and the fear of not being accepted for who you truly are. Your experiences are valid, and they matter. Together, we'll address these stressors head-on to empower and liberate you.

My Background and Approach

With a background in Integrated Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, I bring a diverse and holistic approach to our sessions. My integrated style leverages the strengths and resources you already possess. Through IFS, we explore different parts of yourself, fostering self-awareness and healing. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes your existing strengths and skills, guiding you toward practical solutions and positive change. With Psychodynamic Therapy, we delve into the underlying patterns and experiences that shape your thoughts and behaviors, promoting deep and lasting transformation. By combining these approaches, I aim to provide you with a comprehensive and personalized therapeutic experience. Together, we will work on processing your experiences, enhancing your strengths, and paving the way for a brighter, more balanced future. Let's embark on this journey to uncover your potential and create the life you envision.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

At Liberation Work, we are dedicated to providing therapy and services that center the experiences and voices of people of color and LGBTQ+ folks. We understand the unique challenges and traumas faced by these communities, and our mission is to offer support that is culturally responsive, empathetic, and empowering. As therapists, supervisors, and trainers, we recognize that the personal is deeply intertwined with the social and political. We honor the resilience and strength of individuals who navigate intersecting identities in a world that often marginalizes and invalidates their experiences. Our approach is rooted in social justice principles, advocating for equity, inclusivity, and systemic change. We believe in the power of therapy as a tool for personal growth, healing, and social transformation. Whether you're seeking support for trauma, navigating identity, or confronting systemic oppression, we are here to accompany you on your journey towards liberation.
