A little about me:
I’m Chris (she/her pronouns).
I identify as a Black, queer, femme who worked as an actor and playwright before becoming a social worker. My counseling experience and interests range: BIPOC community; LGBTQIA+ community; adults experiencing depression and anxiety; survivors of trauma; therapists; artists and individuals wanting a space to process their feelings from week to week.
I firmly believe that you are the expert on your experiences. Within you already is the the capacity to fully heal. I see myself as a "Co-explorer" on your journey to living the life you desire and want to assist you in trusting your own inner wisdom.
I’m a fan of dancing and thunderstorms.
If you are interested in learning more about me/my approach, feel free to listen to this interview between myself and Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, CDWF, founder of Head/Heart Therapy, Inc on her “Conversations with a Wounded Healer” podcast.
