Areas of Specialization:
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor specializing in trauma, anxiety, family dynamics, gender-affirming care, and ADHD. As a therapist, I integrate psychoanalytic, culture-centered, and choice theories to create an authentic and individual-focused environment. As a clinical supervisor and counselor educator, I apply the Consultee-Centered Consultation model to center a collaborative approach to growth and confidence building.
My research interests focus on the therapeutic experiences of clinicians of color, dual relationships in counseling, community care practices, and the limitations of Western ethical and therapeutic frameworks.
