About My Clients
I enjoy working with interpersonal relationships, life transitions (especially in young adulthood), familial trauma, anxiety, guilt/shame, and identity formation, and am especially interested in working with women, people of color, and young adult populations. I apply an abolitionist perspective to both counseling and life in general, and as such seek to focalize community care and preventative work in my practice.
My Background and Approach
I believe in taking a collaborative approach to counseling, and am concerned largely with interpersonal dynamics and the ways that our relationships with society impact our personal development and overall well being. My work is influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Approaches.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In my time as a counselor thus far, I have found that healthy interpersonal communication is one of the most dynamic and invaluable resources that we, as humans, have at our disposal. The process of developing one’s sense of self is a lifelong endeavor, marked intermittently by the people that we encounter and the experiences that we endure. As such, I seek primarily to communicate actively with others, such that I might hear and understand just as well as I am heard and understood. In so doing, I hope to cultivate a practice of empathetic wellness intervention, where I am able to facilitate clear and coherent communication across race, class, gender and sexuality, while also prioritizing community, accessibility, and holistic wellness.
