ABOUT ME:
As a queer, non-binary person of color, my experiences with power, systemic oppression, and resistance are central to my therapeutic practice. Similarly, my approach is also shaped by my lived experiences with chronic illness and informed by disability justice. Navigating identity (in all its facets), community and communication, and life’s traumas and stressors are all areas I have interest in, with a particular focus on supporting multiply-marginalized people in LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.
I am also currently a graduate student at the University of Illinois Chicago Jane Addams College of Social Work, which means curiosity and learning are integral to everything I do. I bring my professional experiences working with people experiencing unsheltered and sheltered homelessness, children and families in medical settings, and community mental health to every space, as well as my academic backgrounds in social work, ethnic studies, and English literature.
