Why they became a therapist.

"I think empathically being there for people, helping them to move towards leading an authentic life is one of the most fulfilling experiences I look forward to on an every day basis."

What they'd like a client's first session to be like.

"Being able to help them create a sense of safety, build an atmosphere of trust and genuineness. Helping them use this time exclusively to just be and creating a sense of hope not only towards the process but also with each other."

How they make their practice a safe and affirmative space for queer and trans* folx.

"Seeing people as human beings, without bias and stigma is extremely important. I try to be more mindful of privilidges and create a space of acceptance, safety and non judgemental that allows the clients to feel seen and heard. I make sure my language is inclusive and work constantly towards upgrading myself to be able to create a sense of comfort."

Areas of concern they address in counselling.

"My work centers around a wide range of mental health concerns such as grief and loss, complex trauma, relationship/family issues, identity related concerns, personality related vulnerabilities, emotional difficulties, work/academic stress, difficulties related to role transitions, anxiety, depression, burnout, living with a chronic illness, caregiver support."
