My Approach to Helping

I believe we are always in a process of “becoming.” Therapy is about continually learning to forge connections, release borders, and reaffirm that life is transformation. There is no single perfect, all-encompassing recipe for understanding the complexity of people’s experiences and identities. I know how important it is to approach therapeutic practice through an intersectional lens, allowing for this complexity to breathe and flourish.
