Personal Statement
My approach is centered on helping you reach your goals. I offer a non-judgmental safe space to be open and vulnerable about your struggle and compassionately explore how your life can improve in ways that are meaningful for you. I believe in the idea of the wounded healer and it is through our common humanity that I relate to my clients, however unique. I also believe our problems don’t exist in a bubble, but the struggles we face also occur embedded in the larger systems of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, religion, and national identity.
I have expertise in the trauma of the legal processes around the prosecution of sexual violence. I am LGBTQIA, kink, and poly friendly and have a focus on transgender issues.
