With over 7 years of Social Work experience. I have worked with diverse clients who have a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, life transitions, race related stress, difficulties related to social justice, mass incarceration and LGBTQ issues. I also helped many people who have experienced systemic stress and or complex emotional abuse. My therapy style is compassionate and focused on creating a safe environment. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, individuality and understanding. Therefore, I incorporate an intersectional perspective that honors ones gender identity, sexuality, race, nationality and so on.
