I primarily focused my studies on communities of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and the effects of pervasive trauma. I also am very interested in neurodivergent and anxiety disorders. My theoretical orientation for my work is a wellness-based integrative approach. To me this means an integration of narrative therapy approaches to assist you with finding insights as well as infusing person-centered approaches to enrich the relationship we will build together. My framework for therapy also adopts core values of multicultural therapy. Beginning one’s own healing journey can be quite frightening, and that’s why I seek to create a space where empathy, understanding, and compassion is what will guide all the work we do. Community is very important, and for that we must be willing to welcome each other with open arms and open hearts.
