Bio:
I have worked at a number of different nonprofits around New Orleans in the past five years including Crescentcare, Family Services of GNO and Silence Is Violence, my work at these nonprofits has influenced my approach to counseling and my client-therapist relationships. Working from a trauma-informed lens, I work to facilitate a collaborative and empowering approach to counseling. My theoretical approach stems from a radical social justice paradigm with the incorporation of liberation-based healing practices, expressive arts therapy, feminist, and relational-cultural theory.I work from an anti-racist, anti-colonial, sex-positive, pro-disability justice, kink positive, fat positive, LGBTQ friendly, polyam-friendly, and strengths-based perspective. I hope to offer a space where in our work together, you will be supported in shared decision-making, choice, agency, and empowerment to determine your own unique path of healing.Throughout the counseling process, I welcome feedback, disagreement, and authentic and honest communication. As a counselor and service provider, my role is to serve you. My counseling style is highly relational and I will be warm, authentic, transparent, and human in our work together. I offer a number of sessions at sliding fee.
