LPC- Associate
I believe it is imperative to provide a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for everyone I work with. My approach to therapy values diversity while acknowledging the reality of marginalization, inequity, and injustice. My style is non-coercive, non-pathologizing, sex-positive, and harm-reduction-based. I have experience and enjoy working with:
• Complex trauma/Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)
• Anxious and avoidant attachment patterns
