About My Clients
Many of my clients are questioning "Who am I" and "where do I go from here". Most of my clients are relearning, deepening a relationship with themselves and forming a safe environment to help them thrive. Many of my clients are from the QT/BIPOC community and who are unpacking childhood traumas and current stressors of today's society. I also see 15 years old and older folks who are facing stressors at home or in their social groups and exploring their identities.
My Background and Approach
As James Baldwin said “Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced,” My approach to therapy is focusing on deepening my client’s connection to themselves. I have experience working with QT/BIPOC individuals. I see therapy as collaborative with one another because folks I see are experts of their own lives. Therapy is an opportunity to examine, dismantle, and heal some of the damage caused by oppressive systems. I am excited to work with folks who are practicing boundaries, addressing trauma, and finding their purpose. Clients have described my style as compassionate, direct, humorous, and resourceful. MEND practice uses a feminist and anti-oppression framework to help people address and heal from trauma we face in our everyday lives.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I do not consider myself a traditional therapist. I work very collaboratively with you, bringing my authentic self into the room while I let my clients take the lead in their lives. This means I will work with you to understand the ways you have already been supporting your own wellbeing and survival, and foster growth in new directions and help you gain more insight. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and it looks different for every individual.
