My commitment to social justice means that I strive to attend to issues of power, privilege, and oppression faced by clients, while I recognize the implications of the intersectionality of individual clients. I work to encourage clients to be their whole selves, honoring multiple identities and lived experiences with a focus on their strengths and self-determination.
