Working as a MSW Boxing Therapy intern alongside my broad experience with diverse adult populations, I work with adults whose marginalized positions and family histories within society, whether socioeconomically, ethnically, or otherwise, have had a compounding effect on mental health and self-actualization struggles. When working with clients, I take an approach that not only centers the client and their experience, but believes fundamentally in the client’s own cognitive, emotional, and embodied self-healing capacities. In times of mental health struggle those inner resources and one’s core self may feel totally concealed and inaccessible. Through a joint exploratory journey with the therapist (myself), the client will learn to heal—on their own terms.
