Clinical Approach

I am a true believer that we are spiritual beings that are having physical experiences. At times, these physical experiences can cause us to feel detached from community with ourselves, our family members, and friends. This detachment can bring about feelings and emotions that are difficult to sit with. Feelings like sadness, worry, hopelessness, confusion, and emptiness. These feelings are normal and my goal is to create a safe space for you to find your way back to community through humanizing your experiences; to use your strengths along with the resources around you to make that journey back to community.

Through my clinical experiences, I have learned that evidence based practices mean nothing without a strong therapeutic relationship. I look to cocreate a safe healing space with you to encourage difficult conversations about complex emotions that are challenging to speak about through the use of evidence based practices altered just for you and your needs.

My approach is restorative, supportive, and constructive. I challenge the people I work with to love themselves beyond what their situation and negative emotions are telling them. I truly believe this is an effective anti-oppressive way of understanding self and creating community that affirms your healing, growth, and sense of self.
