I value diversity and am dedicated to developing my practice as a an anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician. I am well aware that this is a life-long mission and that missteps happen along the way. I can’t promise that I won’t make mistakes along the journey, but I can promise that I will own up to my missteps with integrity. I have spent much of my life actively (and joyfully!) learning about people from all walks of life, as well as actively working to uncover and unlearn my own unconscious biases and racism. I do not expect you to educate me about your culture or your community. That is my job as your clinician. My mission is to create an atmosphere in therapy where you can be open about all of your life experiences without judgment or having to over explain yourself.
