About My Clients
Are you feeling pressured by someone else's expectations? Do you question the assumptions of how you're "supposed to be"? Is it sometimes "easier" to wear a mask rather than show who you truly are? Do you crave the freedom, relief, and happiness that come with living on your own terms? Your identity is valid and deserves to be embraced fully! Your life path is your own. Together we can explore, unpack, & challenge what's been unfairly holding you back from stepping into your authentic self.
My Background and Approach
Through an identity-affirming, feminist, and integrative approach, I provide evidence-based interventions tailored to each individual. Therapy is a collaborative and responsive process towards specific, realistic, and attainable goals. My feedback-based care allows for any needed adjustments within the focus or techniques of our work together. In order to better understand and respect your unique emotional, mental, and physical realities, our sessions will address the interconnected facets that make up your life. This includes your physiological needs, possible histories of trauma, support systems, cultural norms, accessibility to community resources, and systemic power imbalances. They've all played a part in how you've gotten this far. They should all play a part in creating the lasting changes you want for yourself.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The old adage “Be the change you want to see in the world” has been a strong driving force in my life for as long as I can remember. I even have it tattooed on me! By supporting a person’s mental health, I believe I'm doing my part in making meaningful, lasting, and impactful changes every day. As a multi-racial, BIPOC, queer, and cisgender woman within the CNM community, I deeply value respecting, validating, and embracing each facet of a person’s reality. Unfortunately, we live in a world where expectation, discrimination, judgment, and stigma often weigh so heavily on marginalized groups. Gratefully, I have been privileged enough to eventually experience the happiness, power, and freedom one finds in living life on their own terms. Because of this, my clinical work focuses on creating a safe and supportive space in which clients can explore, create, and embody a healthier and more authentic life journey.
