My Approach

I use an integrative approach in my work with clients, using a wide range of techniques to find the most effective interventions that meets each person where they are at.

I lean on a trauma-informed, strength-based and social-justice oriented framework in order to provide therapy in a manner that is collaborative, respectful, empathetic and affirming.

I primarily utilize cognitive and behavioral interventions to help clients gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors so they can work towards making helpful and desired changes. This type of therapy incorporates educational components as part of treatment, helping clients learn and try out different approaches to the way they think and act. My work with clients involves examining their beliefs, gaining an understanding of the formation of these beliefs, and taking a deeper look at the connection between these beliefs and the impact on their thoughts, feelings, and actions.

I believe it is important to see how our wellness and functioning are affected by environmental and social interactions. By using a socio-ecological lens, I work with clients to examine and process how relationships with others, within communities, and society at large impacts their emotional and physical well-being. Together, we work to uplift and validate their identity.
