As a queer-affirmative and trauma-informed therapist, I focus on creating a space where my client's identity isn’t just accepted but is recognized as an ever-evolving, fluid aspect of their organic being, which lays the very foundation of our work together. My practice is deeply rooted in a humanistic-existential framework, where I prioritize the lived experience of my clients and the search for personal meaning within a non-judgmental, authentic therapeutic relationship. However, being a queer-affirmative therapist means much more than viewing my clients solely through the lens of their identity. For me, it means acknowledging every part of their internal world that holds weight. I aim to provide a holistic therapeutic space where no part of their experience is marginalized. My goal is to see my client's entirety, where their identity is respected, but their individual goals, mental health concerns, and personal aspirations are also provided with equal value.
