About My Clients
I prioritize working with Queer and Trans People of Color, because the field of mental health is overwhelmingly white and I understand the intricacies of navigating the intersecting identities of being a queer person of color. I also provide clinical supervision for art therapy and mental health counseling to QTBIPOC therapists seeking licensure.
My Background and Approach
My theoretical orientation is grounded in humanistic psychology with an anti-oppressive lens. As a therapist I believe the therapeutic relationship is key to an individual’s growth and change can only happen when someone feels empowered to exist. In my work I use a combination of Art Therapy and verbal therapy techniques based on the specific needs of the client. My counseling approach is warm, supportive, and encourages clients to connect with their inner child to unlearn the internalized oppressive messages that result from life, on a micro and macro level; with the belief that unlearning these messages can empower folx into moving forward and reclaiming their lives.
