What You Can Expect
I’ve worked with a variety of populations, including LGBTQIA, trans, neurodivergent, kinky, polyamorous, disabled, and asexual. Decolonization, anti-racism, inclusivity, Transformative Justice, and understanding how we are all responsible for dismantling systems of oppression are central to my framework of practice. I try to decenter myself as an “expert” and strongly endeavor to foster a person-centered, hope-based, bio-psycho-social minded, collaborative experience. I enjoy giving clients a toolkit of resources, whether that be readings, videos, and/or activities that they can revisit and explore throughout their therapy and hopefully revisit. I encourage work in the therapy dynamic that is experimental, experiential, explorative, and goals-centered.
