Clinical Approach

I believe in an eclectic and client-empowering approach to therapy. To me, therapy is a team effort where the client is an expert in themselves and their life, and I contribute my knowledge or therapy and psychology. Since everyone is different, the approach will be different for each person. I believe strongly in anti-oppressive practices and working actively and continually to confront racism in myself and wherever I have influence. I work to be inclusive and affirming for all clients with marginalized identities and backgrounds
