My Approach to Helping

My practice is inclusive and affirming. I’ve done my own work understanding both my privileged and marginalized identities and I’m dedicated to the continuous work involved in knowing one’s biases and beliefs. I’ve worked with folks from all backgrounds, abilities, and cultures. My practice is not tolerant, it’s affirming. Affirming of all relationship types, sexual orientations, religions, spiritual leanings, body types, kink leaning and lifestyles, races, ethnicity, cultures, gender representations and identities, ages, documentation statuses, socio-economic statuses, educational backgrounds, and more.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Portland State University. If you’re into the technical stuff, my work is rooted in traditional and contemporary psychodynamic theory, specifically Attachment Theory and Object Relations Theory. If you aren’t into the technical stuff, I believe people become who they are in relation to and because of others and their experiences. Understanding who you are as a person, parent, child, friend, partner, or any other identity, is key to happiness and well-being. You’re going to continue to change and move forward in your life. We can work together to help that change be positive.
