About My Clients
I am a member of the team at the The Aguirre Center for Inclusive Psychotherapy, which provides Individual, Relationship, and Group Psychotherapy as well as Psychological Assessment. We believe that you deserve to work with someone who understands and affirms the complexities of your identities. We are committed to providing excellent therapy for all, with a special focus on those who hold marginalized identities, including Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and the LGBTQ communities.
My Background and Approach
I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals of all backgrounds, including racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds, to help them toward their personal goals for change. Through developing a caring, nonjudgmental, and safe space, I work to create an environment in which clients can examine and better understand themselves and the challenges they face. I have experience working with a wide variety of concerns; I have particular expertise in working with addiction/substance abuse; trauma; sexual orientation and gender identity (LGBTQIA+); and issues related to experiencing racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have deep personal and professional commitments to antiracism and social justice. As an educator and a researcher, my primary areas of focus are on understanding and ameliorating racism; culturally responsive psychotherapy and psychotherapy training; and racial and economic inequities in higher education. I am also involved in political advocacy and action for community change.
