Therapy style
My therapeutic approach is inspired by a relational psychodynamic perspective that offers and encourages space to explore how past experiences shape present patterns of relating to others and the self. The purpose of which is to create new sustainable ways of interacting in the present to improve emotional and psychological wellbeing. I have worked with individuals from the Kink, Latinx, LGBT+, and neurodiverse communities to mitigate the impact of stressors by employing Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), trauma informed care, and trauma narratives. I have served clients in both private and community mental health settings to address barriers created by anxiety, trauma, and unexpected life transitions.
