My Background and Approach
My approach is relational, trauma informed, anti-oppressive, anti-system, and I am guided by harm reduction, anti-imperialist, transformative justice, anti-carceral, and disability justice values. I believe there is value in many theories. I always start with a person-centered approach given the value I place on client’s lived experiences as the most important pieces to inform our work. People are going to have varying needs with varying accessibility concerns. I believe in shifting how I do therapy based on each individual. My practice is centered around serving people with marginalized identities. I look at how the individual may be impacted by systems, social interactions, and cultural upbringing to inform the ways that healing and a growth journey might look for an individual. My background is in working with folx having abortions, survivors of sexual assault & abuse, folx struggling with eating disorders, disabled folx, and people who exist outside the gender binary.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in dismantling the ways therapy perpetuates harm. I believe in talking about it too. I believe therapy was created to help well off cis, het, white people and that there is much work to be done in ensuring therapy works appropriately for people who diverge from these identities and experiences. I believe in holding space for people who express suicidality, not calling a hospital. I believe in making a space that is anti-racist, anti-capitalist, trauma informed, community building, and safe no matter the identities you hold. I believe in having long conversations about the pros & cons to taking on a diagnosis & in the end its the client's call. I believe all humans are worthy of self exploration, healing, support, and autonomy.
