My Approach to Helping

My approach stems from an Existential-BIPOC-Humanistic lens. Thus, finding and valuing your authentic narrative is essential in my practice. So, if find, you have goals, dreams, and aspirations, but you are uncertain whether you will ever make everything in your mind work out the way you planned. Here’s to meeting your goals!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a Trauma-informed Therapist, I work from an empathetic, strength-based lens. I strive to create a generous, welcoming, judgment-free, and secure space. Along with you (the client), the aim is to form an equitable collaboration for however long it is needed. My work as a social justice therapist understands how various institutionalized parameters may impact a healthy-wellbeing: such as Anti-Blackness, Gender-Based Oppression, Anti-Climate change, and other forms of systemic injustice. Therefore, my therapeutic praxis is inculcated from an anti-oppressive, gender-affirming, and Mindful-radical acceptance perspective. Additionally, my work has highlighted but is not limited to: Anxiety, Trauma, LGBTQ+, non-monogamy, sex workers, depression, relational conflict, addiction and dependence, Somatic theory, and geropsychology
