Client-centerED therapy rooted in
respect, trauma-informed practices,
and cultural humility
My practice specializes in providing trauma-informed therapy with a focus on inclusivity and respect for diverse identities.
By integrating client-centered principles, philosophically-informed insights, and a commitment to creating a safe space, I aim to empower clients from marginalized communities to navigate their therapeutic journey with authenticity and resilience.
My approach honors the unique experiences and challenges of each individual, fostering a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, empathy, and cultural humility.
Together, we embark on a collaborative journey towards personal growth and empowerment, guided by a deep respect for the complexities of the human experience.
CLIENT-CENTERED
As a client-centered therapist, my approach places you, the client, at the center of our therapeutic journey. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences freely. Rather than imposing my agenda, I strive to understand your unique perspective and support you in reaching your own goals for personal growth and healing. Through empathetic listening, genuine understanding, and unconditional positive regard, our collaborative aim is to empower you to explore your experiences and emotions, fostering growth and well-being along your unique journey.
TRAUMA-INFORMED
I believe safety, understanding, and inclusivity are paramount. As a trauma-informed therapist, I am committed to creating a space where individuals from all backgrounds—LGBTQIA, those with religious trauma, and clients of color—feel seen, heard, and respected. I recognize the unique challenges and experiences that you may bring to our sessions, and I approach our work with sensitivity, empathy, and cultural humility. Collaboratively, we'll navigate the complexities of trauma with compassion and resilience, honoring your journey towards healing. Your identity is honored here, and our therapeutic relationship is grounded in trust, collaboration, and unconditional support.
PHILOSOPHICALLY-INFORMED
In therapy, I view the process as a philosophical exploration of your unique journey. With a master's degree in applied philosophy and ethics from Texas State University, along with experience teaching undergraduate courses on ethics, I integrate philosophical concepts to foster reflections and perspectives on your life. Drawing from postmodernism, feminism, existentialism, and ancient Greek and Roman thought, our sessions become a dialogue where we explore existential questions, ethical dilemmas, and the nature of human existence. By intertwining these philosophical threads, we cultivate deeper self-awareness by empowering you to live authentically and engage with life's uncertainties with openness.
My therapeutic approach is a blend of client-centered principles and philosophically-informed insights, tailored to address trauma with sensitivity and inclusivity. I prioritize creating a safe and affirming space where individuals from diverse backgrounds can explore their experiences with authenticity. Together, we will begin a process of self-discovery and healing, guided by empathy and respect.
