Dedicated to ensuring social justice and advocacy for ALL!
My professional training in various theories and models led me to reflect on my beliefs about human nature, how problems develop within people, and their capacity to change. My beliefs mirror closely with those of Alfred Adler. Taking an Adlerian perspective allows me to stay true to my core beliefs: society and the dominant culture’s oppressive ways impact people and therefore a shift to a more egalitarian society needs to occur; with empathic, compassionate, and culturally responsive support, people can change, grow, and improve their lives for both self and social interest; and with culturally responsive education and support, society can do better with each other and for each other.
The work I engage in supports individuals and groups from traditionally marginalized and under-supported communities. I also specifically target and challenge my professional counseling colleagues, educators, and our allies to broaden our multicultural competency lens and expand our social justice and advocacy services to eliminate the barriers to access and equity in the various institutions still upholding the status quo.
