In my area of expertise, I have had involvement with a diverse group of clients of all different ages, religious backgrounds, sexual and gender identities, and races/ethnicities. It has been such a pleasure to provide therapy to people who look like me and people who are quite different in all respects. I believe that this diversity of perspectives and experiences is the most rewarding part of my job. I know that everyone hasn’t had the opportunity to be in spaces where differences are embraced and accepted, so I go out of my way to make sure all of my clients are not only heard but also that they are seen. Throughout my career I have been a very flexible and versatile therapist. I meet each client where they are based on their different needs. What may work for you may not work for the next client and so on. Individuality, transparency, and authenticity are among my favorite words. I apply them in my work, and I apply them in my life with my own relationships and loved ones! Without these things, we cannot build rapport, trust, or a healthy relationship.
