Client-Centered Therapy:
I specialize in therapeutic processes that centers empowerment, self-determination, and lived experiences. Through a collaborative process, we will identify tools that support you in working through challenging emotions and behaviors that ultimately lead to healing.
I practice trauma-informed, anti-oppressive methods of therapy that are rooted in liberation, resilience, healing, and renewal.
Through building a collaborative therapeutic relationship, you and I can begin a process of healing in which you will be witnessed, validated, and supported as you find your path to your best self.
