I work collaboratively to create safety, clarity, and craft a plan to cope for now and to thrive in the long term. My areas of focus line up with the political framework I use to determine my values: self determination, critical thinking, and intentionally changing our minds. I treat our sessions as an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and work as a team to find pathways forward. I utilize intersectional feminist theories, attachment, and trauma-informed practice. My orientation is focused on building autonomy, using our worldly knowledge to make good decisions about our lives, and building capacity to change our ways of being, knowing, and doing. I use narrative, emotionally focused, and person-centered techniques that are critical of systems and compassionate towards people. I think about things in terms of what power structures are at play in relationships, how we imprint with our caregivers and the resonating effects in our lives, and consideration for the life events that stick with us for the long haul. Let’s make space for your story to come alive and be a narrative that you feel pride and contentment with, and can preserve sustainability within your life.
