Theoretical Orientation, Frameworks, and Populations

I utilize targeted behavioral interventions—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—to address functional disruption, restore physiological rest, and build sustainable, everyday routines. These tools are implemented as collaborative resources to protect your energy and support your goals, never as a measure of norming.

Every interaction is grounded in unconditional positive regard. Whether we are using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) or trauma-informed Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), the process is always future-oriented, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your expertise in your own life.

I help clients identify and amplify their strengths and values—especially those forged through adversity. This lens helps us reframe internal dialogue, challenge "stuck points," and reclaim narratives that honor both pain and resilience.

Disability justice is a liberatory framework that centers the lived experiences of disabled people, especially those at the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and class. It challenges systems that equate worth with productivity and embraces interdependence, collective care, and access as a human right. Rooted in community wisdom and resistance, disability justice affirms that healing and liberation must be shaped by those most impacted — not imposed from outside. In my work, it guides how I hold space, honor autonomy, and advocate for systemic change that reflects dignity and wholeness.

An integrative, narrative-behavioral protocol I authored to help clients identify, track, and externalize recurring psychological themes, behavioral loops, and systemic stressors. While Motif Mapping is a novel, author-developed clinical framework and not yet classified as a formal evidence-based practice, it synthesizes established principles from narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and strengths-based care into a workable visual landscape to help you reclaim agency and navigate life on your own terms.
