My approach is trauma informed by Liberation-Based Psychology, intersectionality, and social justice principles. I believe the problem is external to the person and healing happens when we honor the full context of a person’s life, including relationships, culture, and the systems that shape our experiences. My therapeutic approach is culturally attuned with a a specific interest in women's concerns throughout the life span. I have significant experience working with multiple cultures and identities with individuals and couples.
