Therapy Approach
I practice from a humanistic, strengths-based, solution-focused model as well as a psychodynamic perspective. My approach is holistic, anti-oppressive, authentic, nurturing, and eclectic. I use various therapeutic methods related to the diagnosis and treatment of psychological problems, especially in the provision of person-centered care, LGBTQ2SAI+ affirmative practices, trauma-informed care, and mental health recovery.
